Wrong saveDir value on iOS

See original GitHub issue

On iOS if the path doesn’t end with /, flutter_downloader adds /(null) and fails the download.

Steps to reproduce:

Directory directory = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
directory.path will be something like “/SOME/PATH/Documents”
await FlutterDownloader.enqueue(..., saveDir: directory.path);
final tasks = await FlutterDownloader.loadTasks();
checking last task in tasks, its saveDir value will be “/SOME/PATH/Documents/(null)”

flutter_downloader version: 1.2.2

maybe you should check the first task in tasks.

flutter_downloader: ^1.5.2 I can still reproduce this on ios simulator when using getApplicationDocumentsDirectory(). If I rather save into a subfolder inside the documents, then its okay, also as @jimmycasey wrote when simply appending a Platform.pathSeparator at the end of documents folder, it also works

✖️ getApplicationDocumentsDirectory(): /Users/<username>/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/2833D949-3B27-47CB-9377-AAF6EC9E5F26/data/Containers/Data/Application/716965B2-D072-40BB-8EA0-32F6EA1C97BB/Documents/(null)

✔️ getApplicationDocumentsDirectory() + Platform.pathSeparator /Users/<username>/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/2833D949-3B27-47CB-9377-AAF6EC9E5F26/data/Containers/Data/Application/716965B2-D072-40BB-8EA0-32F6EA1C97BB/Documents

✔️ getApplicationDocumentsDirectory() + Platform.pathSeparator + 'DL' /Users/<username>/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/2833D949-3B27-47CB-9377-AAF6EC9E5F26/data/Containers/Data/Application/716965B2-D072-40BB-8EA0-32F6EA1C97BB/Documents/DL
