[dialog] [iOS] open([options]) brings up photo picker and not file select #1578
Description
Install plugin-dialog using manual install
JS API installed with pnpm
Import plugin-dialog and then use the following code:
await open({
multiple: false,
directory: false,
properties: [{ mimeTypes: ['text/csv'] }],
filters: [{ name: 'CSV', extensions: ['csv'] }],
})Running pnpm tauri dev for desktop, the code brings up a file picker dialog as expected allowing the selection of a CSV file.
iOS issue
Running pnpm tauri ios dev choosing a simulator then when the app is running, tap the button to bring up the file picker. The photo app picker is what comes up. No other means to select a file from the Files app. A photo can be selected and returned. What is needed though is a means to select a file not a photo.
Expected open file picker dialog
Tied setting permissions in capabilities individually. No change
