await thetaImage.writeAsBytes(imageData.bodyBytes); //This is the line that is given error
Please advice

Answer 1

Why don't you debug your code? It's a string. That's why you got the error.
Change the code to:
await thetaImage.writeAsBytes(File(imageData).readAsBytesSync());

Answer 2

> final directory = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
final path = directory.path;
final file = File(path);
