Couldn’t communicate with a helper application. Disk space is very low

[loonix]

Describe the bug
I have encountered a difficulty trying to use the file picker when the phone has no storage (which will be fine for most people but my ipad is full of junk).

Platform

• [] Android - have not tested in Android but believe will be similar
• iOS
• [] Web
• [] Desktop (Go)

Platform OS version
What version did it happen?
14

How are you picking?

 var image = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles(allowMultiple: false, type: FileType.image);
  widget.imagePicked!(image!.files[0]);

Details to reproduce the issue
You need to have low storage on your IOS device, then select a photo that is on the cloud and add it with the file picker

Fixed with 4.2.4.

I got this error as well. I resolved it by clearing space on my device.

file_picker: ^4.2.8
