As described at https://github.com/zulip/zulip-flutter/issues/114#issuecomment-1619401171 , > now we may be able to replace both uses of `file_picker` with first-party plugins namely `package:file_selector` and `package:image_picker`. We didn't use those initially because they didn't at the time have all the features we need. It looks like they now do. Meanwhile the third-party `package:file_picker` seems to not be vigorously maintained. For example see: * #825
