Fix File Picker on linux #357

Closed Tanish2002 closed 5 months ago

PR Description

This PR replaces the file_picker package with the file_selector package.

It uses native channels for a file picker dialog and should work without any third-party runtime dependencies installed.

I learned about this package through a issue on file_picker github repo thread.

Since this uses native channels it should be more performant as well, However, I don't have any benchmarks to back this.

I've tested the file picker on Linux and it works fine. Would need someone else to check on a Mac and Windows machine as well.

Thanks for resolving the issue. file_selector is also maintained by the flutter team so it is the way to go. 🚀
