Describe the bug
On iOS, the saveFile method returns a String. The file then needs to be saved to the path described by this string. The "bytes" parameter has no effect.
On Android however, the Data is given by the "bytes" parameter and this given data is saved instead.

Platform

  • Android
  • iOS
  • Web
  • Desktop

Platform OS version
iOS 17.5
Android ?

How are you picking?

outputFile = await FilePicker.platform.saveFile(
  dialogTitle: 'Please select an output file:',
  fileName: 'log.txt',
  type: FileType.any,
  bytes: currentLogBytes,
);

if (Platform.isIOS) File(outputFile).write(currentLogBytes);

Details to reproduce the issue
Use Code above.

I think this issue points to a bit of the API that can definitely improve. At the very least, we could do the saving of the file on iOS for you.
