[cross_file] Updates cross_file to a package separated federated plugin (#11010)
Updates `cross_file` to a package separated federated plugin. ~~Keeping the package separation is still debatable.~~ Follows the general design outlined at https://flutter.dev/go/flutter-file-system Fixes flutter/flutter#91869 Implementation is split into * **cross_file_io:** for use cases supportable by `dart:io` (all platforms except Web) * **cross_file_web**: for Web * Uses [Blobs](https://pub.dev/documentation/web/latest/web/Blob-extension-type.html) and [Blob URLs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/URI/Reference/Schemes/blob). * Supports `package:web` [Files](https://pub.dev/documentation/web/latest/web/File-extension-type.html) (subclass of `Blob`. * **cross_file_android:** for Android Scoped Storage * Uses the high level abstraction of [DocumentFile](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/documentfile/provider/DocumentFile) to interact with [content uris](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ContentUris). * Uses Kotlin. * **cross_file_darwin:** for iOS and macOS App Sandbox * Creates implementation for security scoped URI that call: * Adds support to call [URL.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsurl/startaccessingsecurityscopedresource()) and [URL.stopaccessingsecurityscopedresource](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsurl/stopaccessingsecurityscopedresource()). * **Future Work**: Adds support to bookmark URLs following: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/Security/accessing-files-from-the-macos-app-sandbox#Persist-file-access-with-security-scoped-URL-bookmarks * Creates implementation for accessing an asset with PhotoKit. ## Pre-Review Checklist **Note**: The Flutter team is currently trialing the use of [Gemini Code Assist for GitHub](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/review-github-code). Comments from the `gemini-code-assist` bot should not be taken as authoritative feedback from the Flutter team. If you find its comments useful you can update your code accordingly, but if you are unsure or disagree with the feedback, please feel free to wait for a Flutter team member's review for guidance on which automated comments should be addressed. [^1]: Regular contributors who have demonstrated familiarity with the repository guidelines only need to comment if the PR is not auto-exempted by repo tooling.

13+
## Overview
14+
15+
This package provides a unified API for interacting with resources across platforms through two
16+
primary implementation types:
17+
18+
### FileSystem
19+
20+
The `FileSystem` implementation represents resources on a traditional file system. It is used when
21+
resources are identified by standard file paths or `file://` URIs.
22+
23+
* **Classes**: `FileSystemXFile`, `FileSystemXDirectory`.
24+
* **Use Cases**: Desktop applications, app-private storage on mobile, or any environment where
25+
direct file system access is available.
26+
27+
### ScopedStorage
28+
29+
The `ScopedStorage` implementation represents resources that are managed or restricted by the
30+
platform. These resources are typically identified by platform-specific URIs rather than direct
31+
paths.
32+
33+
* **Classes**: `ScopedStorageXFile`, `ScopedStorageXDirectory`.
34+
* **Use Cases**: Android Content URIs, iOS Security-Scoped bookmarks, Web Object URLs, or Photo
35+
Library assets.
36+
* **Key Characteristic**: Access to these resources may be ephemeral or requires explicit lifecycle
37+
management (e.g., using `dispose()` or specific platform extensions).
38+

## Usage
640

7-
Import `package:cross_file/cross_file.dart`, instantiate a `XFile`
8-
using a path or byte array and use its methods and properties to
9-
access the file and its metadata.
41+
Instantiate a `XFile` using a uri or path and use its methods and properties to access the file and
42+
its metadata.

Example:

13-
<?code-excerpt "example/lib/main.dart (Instantiate)"?>
46+
<?code-excerpt "readme_excerpts.dart (Instantiate)"?>
1447
```dart
15-
final file = XFile('assets/hello.txt');
48+
final file = XFile.fileSystem(path: 'assets/hello.txt');
1649
17-
print('XFile from disk:');
18-
print('- Path: ${file.path}');
19-
print('- Name: ${file.name}');
20-
print('- Length: ${await file.length()} bytes');
21-
print('- Content: ${await file.readAsString()}');
22-
```
50+
debugPrint('File information:');
51+
debugPrint('- URI: ${file.uri}');
52+
debugPrint('- Name: ${await file.name()}');

You will find links to the API docs on the [pub page](https://pub.dev/packages/cross_file).
25-
26-
## MIME types
54+
if (await file.exists()) {
55+
final String fileContent = await file.readAsString();
56+
debugPrint('Content of the file: $fileContent');
57+
}
58+
```
2759

28-
On web, `mimeType` reflects browser-provided file metadata when available.
29-
Native implementations do not infer MIME types from file paths or contents.
30-
On native platforms, `mimeType` returns the value explicitly passed to the
31-
`XFile` constructor or `XFile.fromData`, if any.
60+
You can find links to the API docs on the [pub page](https://pub.dev/documentation/cross_file/latest/).

## Web Limitations
62+
### Implementation-Specific Features
3463

35-
`XFile` on the web platform is backed by [Blob](https://api.dart.dev/be/180361/dart-html/Blob-class.html)
36-
objects and their URLs.
64+
Classes in this package contain an underlying platform implementation that provides features that
65+
are specific to an implementation.
3766

38-
It seems that Safari hangs when reading Blobs larger than 4GB (your app will stop
39-
without returning any data, or throwing an exception).
67+
To access implementation-specific features, start by adding the platform implementation packages to
68+
your app or package:
4069

41-
This package will attempt to throw an `Exception` before a large file is accessed
42-
from Safari (if its size is known beforehand), so that case can be handled
43-
programmatically.
70+
* **dart:io** [cross_file_io](https://pub.dev/packages/cross_file_io/install)
71+
* **Android Scoped Storage**: [cross_file_android](https://pub.dev/packages/cross_file_android/install)
72+
* **iOS/macOS App Sandbox**: [cross_file_darwin](https://pub.dev/packages/cross_file_darwin/install)
73+
* **Web**: [cross_file_web](https://pub.dev/packages/cross_file_web/install)
4474

45-
### Browser compatibility
75+
Next, add the imports of the implementation packages to your app or package:

77+
<?code-excerpt "readme_excerpts.dart (platform_imports)"?>
78+
```dart
79+
// Import for Darwin App Sandbox features.
80+
import 'package:cross_file_darwin/cross_file_darwin.dart';
81+
// Import for Web features.
82+
import 'package:cross_file_web/cross_file_web.dart';
83+
```

85+
Now, additional features can be accessed through the platform implementations. Classes
86+
`FileSystemXFile`, `FileSystemXDirectory`, `ScopedStorageXFile`, and `ScopedStorageXDirectory` pass
87+
their functionality to a class provided by the current platform. Below are a couple of ways to
88+
access additional functionality provided by the platform and is followed by an example.
5089

51-
## Testing
90+
1. Pass a creation params class provided by a platform implementation to a `fromCreationParams`
91+
constructor (e.g. `FileSystemXFile.fromCreationParams`, `ScopedStorageXFile.fromCreationParams`,
92+
etc.).
93+
2. Call methods on an implementation of a class by using `getExtension` method (e.g.
94+
`XFile.getExtension`, `XDirectory.getExtension`, etc.).
5295

53-
This package supports both web and native platforms. Unit tests need to be split
54-
in two separate suites (because native code cannot use `package:web`, and web code
55-
cannot use `dart:io`).
96+
Below is an example of using additional iOS/macOS and Web features for a `XFile`.
5697

57-
When adding new features, it is likely that tests need to be added for both the
58-
native and web platforms.

switch (CrossFile.implementation) {
103+

final params = WebScopedStorageXFileCreationParams.fromObjectUrl(
105+
objectUrl: 'blob:https://some/url:for/file',
106+
);
107+
file = ScopedStorageXFile.fromCreationParams(params);
108+
case CrossFileDarwin():
109+
file = ScopedStorageXFile.fromUri(Uri.file('/my/file.txt'));
110+
default:
111+
file = XFile.fileSystem(path: '/my/file.txt');
112+
}
113+
114+
await file
115+
.getExtension<SecurityScopedDarwinScopedStorageXFileExtension>()
116+
?.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource();
117+
118+
debugPrint(await file.readAsString());
119+
120+
if (file is ScopedStorageXFile) {
121+
await file.dispose();
122+
}
