Flutter passing image string - flutter

Question

i'm trying to send an image on instagram using flutter with the social_share package.
My issue is that i'm new with flutter and i don't find a proper way to send a path to the function SocialShare.shareInstagramStory(imageFile.path, "#ffffff", "#000000", "https://deep-link-url");
My images are located in the root of the flutter project in assets/images/my_images.
When i try to put the path SocialShare.shareInstagramStory("assets/images/my_image.jpeg");
i guess the phone doesn't know this path since it's looking on his own directory
hope i'm clear enough and thanks for your time!
Edit : here's my code:
onPressed: () async {
Directory tempDir = await getTemporaryDirectory();
String tempPath = tempDir.path;
File file = File(tempDir.path);
final byteData = await rootBundle.load('assets/images/img_1.jpeg');
await file.writeAsBytes(byteData.buffer.asUint8List(byteData.offsetInBytes, byteData.lengthInBytes));
await SocialShare.shareInstagramStory(file.path);
Navigator.of(context).pop();
},
i got this error :
E/flutter (12761): [ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(199)] Unhandled Exception: FileSystemException: Cannot open file, path = '/data/user/0/com.example.app/cache' (OS Error: Is a directory, errno = 21)

So basically, what you need to do is convert your asset image into a file, then create a temporary path and store this file there. Then you can reference that path
We need to create a temporary path with this plugin https://pub.dev/packages/path_provider
Directory tempDir = await getTemporaryDirectory();
String tempPath = tempDir.path;
Then create a file
File file = File(tempDir.path+'/img_1.jpeg');//You might have to play arounf with the /. Remove it or put it in the end to see what works
Now we need to write the image to this
final byteData = await rootBundle.load('assets/images/img_1.jpeg');
await file.writeAsBytes(byteData.buffer.asUint8List(byteData.offsetInBytes, byteData.lengthInBytes));
Now you can use this temporary path to do what you want
