Openning PDF in iOS

I’m trying to open a PDF file that is local to the device on IOS 12. The PDF doesn’t open but rather an action dialog box opens (attached) instead. Can we open the PDF directly ?

Here is the code I’m using:

     OpenFile.open(report.path,  type: "application/pdf", uti: "com.adobe.pdf");

and pubspec.yaml

 open_file: ^3.2.1

Thanks!

If you are using a simulator, try it on a real machine

Oh no, we check it on different real IOS devices, this problem is not in simulator.

The (ugly) workaround I found for the old “.file” files still in cache looks like:

    String path = file.path;

    if (path.endsWith('.file')) {
      final copied = await file.copy(
        path.replaceFirst(RegExp(r'\.file$'), '.pdf'),
      );

      path = copied.path;
    }

    await OpenFile.open(
      path,
      type:  'application/pdf',
      uti:  'com.adobe.pdf',
    );
