Upload file not working on Android (Compose Multiplatform)

I’m working on a Compose multiplatform project

I show the typeform link in a WebView using This Library

IOS works correctly, Android doesn’t open the picker when user clicks “choose file”
This could be a permission problem. I’ve already requested Camera permission, but still not working.
Any suggestions?

Hi ​@manolo, welcome to the community 😊

I don’t see where you have the Typeform embedded on your page, could you share the exact location so we can test what’s happening?

Thanks Grace,
The library i use is not an official one, so in the end i gave up and let the app open an external browser to show the Typeform.

Hey Manolo,
WebView is the safest bet when embedding a typeform inside a mobile app.
I could not find documentation regarding permission on Compose, so it works in multiplatform.


But on Android, there seem to be some more specific permissions to access the filesystem.
