There is a approved and merged PR for this issue; https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/13814 and more over, this issue has been deemed as fixed on Jul 12, 2023 https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/11088#event-9792279528 Alas, when I lookup the sources of relevant code area from Visual Studio I am not able to see fixed code. (Its just #if/#endif which is not there!)

The following code is used to pick text files;

Project is open source and repository address is; https://github.com/Buyukcaglar/UltimateRemote

https://github.com/Buyukcaglar/UltimateRemote/blob/main/Constants/FilePickerOptions.cs Line 15 & 264

public static PickOptions TextFileOptions = new()
{
PickerTitle = "Select a TXT file",
FileTypes = TxtFile,
}; 

private static readonly FilePickerFileType TxtFile = new FilePickerFileType(
new Dictionary<DevicePlatform, IEnumerable<string>>
{
{ DevicePlatform.iOS, new[] { "public.text" } },
{ DevicePlatform.Android, new[] { "text/plain" } },
{ DevicePlatform.WinUI, new[] { ".txt" } },
{ DevicePlatform.Tizen, new[] { "*/*" } },
{ DevicePlatform.macOS, new[] { "public.text" } },
{ DevicePlatform.MacCatalyst, new[] { "public.text" } }
});

https://github.com/Buyukcaglar/UltimateRemote/blob/main/Services/StorageContentFileService.cs Line 51:

var pickResult = await FilePicker.PickAsync(FilePickerOptions.TextFileOptions);

FilePicker.PickAsync or FilePicker.Default.PickAsync does not matter, result is null regardless.

Am I missing something, or doing anything wrong? Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
