I am building a Flutter app where there is a page for creating an account. When I click the button next it is supposed to call the createAccount method that will upload fields to Cloud Firestore. Currently all the fields are uploaded with the exception of the image URL and the image is not uploaded to FirebaseStorage. The imageURL uploads an empty string meaning the file image must be null. Does this mean there is an issue with the uploadProfilePicture method in my AuthRepository class?

I am building a Flutter app where there is a page for creating an account. When I click the button next it is supposed to call the createAccount method that will upload fields to Cloud Firestore. Currently all the fields are uploaded with the exception of the image URL and the image is not uploaded to FirebaseStorage. The imageURL uploads an empty string meaning the file image must be null. Does this mean there is an issue with the uploadProfilePicture method in my AuthRepository class?

• 2 If there is a problem in uploadProfilePicture, it would log an error, right? What is the error? Please edit the question to show all relevant details. – Doug Stevenson Commented Mar 13 at 12:36
• @DougStevenson so the uploadProfilePicture method doesn't return any error however the createAccout method doesn't upload any imageURL to Cloud Firestore meaning the File of the image must be now. I have edited the code to include the UserModel class as well the FirebaseFieldNames class – Anesu Mazvimavi Commented Mar 13 at 13:13

Try a different method than putFile() to save your file.

I use putData() like this:

await imageFile.readAsBytes().then((value) async {
    await storageRef.putData(value, SettableMetadata(contentType: imageFile.mimeType));
});
