Answer 1

pickImage returns a PickedFile? and not File

Use this to get a file:

  File? file;
  getPhoto() async {
    Navigator.pop(context);
    final pickedImage = await ImagePicker.platform.pickImage(
      source: ImageSource.gallery,
      maxHeight: 675,
      maxWidth: 960,
    );
    if(pickedImage != null){
      file = File(pickedImage.path);
    }
  }
