It seems this change breaks some older Android versions. For me with this change the file picker doesn't work on Android 9, but reverting this change or setting the intent type depending on Android version (like here) fixes this. I am not sure though which versions should use which intent type and why.

It seems wrapping all intents with createChooser works with launchMode="singleInstance" regardless of the version of Android even with the old ACTION_GET_CONTENT intent type: example. It will probably work with other launch modes too, but according to the description here it may force the system to show an extra activity chooser dialog if there are several possible activities for choosing a file. So perhaps this wrapping should better be somehow limited only to singleInstance applications.

Hello, sorry I've been away for some period, does this issue still exist?

I'd also like to know why this pull request just has been closed?
Is there now a solution for apps which use/have to use launchMode=singleInstance in the Android part?

#1336 works for us, so we have been using https://github.com/muttsu-623/flutter_file_picker

But it has issues on Windows, so we had to make https://github.com/cypherstack/flutter_file_picker which is 8.0.3 + muttsu-623's single change: muttsu-623@f0930d9
