Yet another "No apps can perform this action"

See original GitHub issue

Description of the bug

A small subset of our users, seemingly only on Android, receive the “No apps can perform this action” message when trying to use the function that invokes PickFile. The filetype being selected is a JSON file. We’ve been unable to reproduce the issue in-house.

Platform specs

Please provide the following info if this is a Unity 3D repository.

  • Unity version: 2020.3.27f1
  • Platform: Android, possibly iOS
  • How did you download the plugin: Asset Store

Additional info

Here is some relevant parts of the code in question.

var allowedTypes = new string[] { NativeFilePicker.ConvertExtensionToFileType("json") };

var permission = NativeFilePicker.PickFile((pth) =>
{
   //callback content
}, allowedTypes);

It’s worth mentioning that this is happening with version 1.29 of NativeFilePicker. We are working to release an update that upgrades the package to 1.30, but have not been able to test this issue in that update as of yet.

Try var allowedTypes = new string[] { "*/*" }; instead.

I didn’t, sorry. I’ll add that in a future release and see if I can test it for you.
