Flutter: M1 Macbook Pro Image_Picker Error - flutter

Question

I'm new to Flutter and would love some help with an error.
While using the image_picker package, I noticed that I'm getting a value of null returned when I try to select an image from ios photo gallery.
(Specifically, [VERBOSE-2:dart_vm_initializer.cc(41)] Unhandled Exception: [firebase_storage/object-not-found] No object exists at the desired reference.)
I read the package documentation where it says this is a known issue and to try it on a real device. I tried it on my real device an only got the desired result once. Can someone please shed some light on this? Below, I have provided the necessary code and a look and my flutter doctor. Thanks in advance!
P.S. To be clear, I am trying to test this on my physical ios device(iPhone 14 Pro Max), as I am aware of the issue with the ios Simulator and the image_picker package.
Please let me know if I need to provide more information to resolve this issue!
String? photoUrl = " ";
File? image;
Future pickImage() async {
try {
final image = await ImagePicker()
.pickImage(source: ImageSource.gallery, requestFullMetadata: false);
if (image == null) return;
Reference ref = FirebaseStorage.instance.ref().child("profilepic.jpg");
await ref.putFile(File(image.path));
await ref.getDownloadURL().then((value) {print(value); setState(() {
photoUrl = value;
});});
} on PlatformException catch (e) {
debugPrint('Failed to pick image: $e');
}
}
profilePic() {
final Size size = MediaQuery.of(context).size;
return SizedBox(
height: size.height * 0.185,
width: double.infinity,
child: Column(children: [
const Spacer(),
photoUrl != null
?
GestureDetector(
onTap: () {
pickImage();
},
child: Container(
height: 120,
width: 160,
decoration: const BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.blue,
borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(
Radius.circular(20),
),
),
child: const Icon(
Icons.person,
size: 50,
color: Colors.white,
),
),
):Image.network(photoUrl!),
],
),
);
}

Answer 1

hope you are included all the required steps for accessing gallery in android and iOS as mentioned here.
other chances are out dated packages in the flutter project.
please check the following link to rectify that link

Answer 2

If i am understanding correctly, below your spacer widget in your column children the condition should be photoUrl == null instead of photoUrl != null.
It would be good if you can share some findings.
