useFilePicker: Doesn't work on IOS
During using your lib I’ve noticed that it doesn’t work in IOS (13.7). The popup opens but after choosing the files nothing changed. I’ve tested it for a little bit and figured out that change
event is not fired. After a quick search, I’ve found out that change
is not fired if an input is not in DOM. Function openFileDialog
creates the input but doesn’t add it to DOM.
So, might be worth adding an argument like addToDOM
or even do it by default as it very popular case in my view.

Nothing changes with
readFileContent: false
Thank you very much for your PR. I’ve tested it and looks like it works!
Hi @Ivanko5417, we’ve been investigating the issue and as @Jaaneek said, adding the element to the document is not considered a good practice, so we’d like to avoid it. I’ve done some research, and it seems like ios does not always fire change events on inputs: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8004227/ios-select-onchange-not-firing/10544704#10544704 My suggestion is to try adding onBlur event listener on top of existing onChange listener. In src/helpers/openFileDialog.ts add:
Test cases to cover:
If my solution with blur event doesn’t work or introduces any new bugs, then we’ll accept Your PR.
Hi Man, i will look into it after the weekend. Thank you for pointing that out and sorry for late response.
