FilePicker on MAUI App using MacCatalyst does not give FullPath

Question

When debugging MAUI applicaion on Mac using MacCatalyst, whenever I try to get the FullPath of a file selected, I get the temporary file location (/var/folders/v2/<long-random-string/T/-inbox/text.txt), and not the actual physical path (Users//Documents/text.txt).

I tried updating the Entitlements.plist as mentioned here, and giving the app full disk access to no avail.

Answer 1

From the docs Pick multiple files:

The FullPath property doesn't always return the physical path to the file. To get the file, use the OpenReadAsync method.
