Troubleshooting 400 Errors on Flutter iOS: Uploading to Firebase Storage

If you're a developer using Flutter and Firebase for your iOS apps, you may encounter a frustrating issue when trying to upload files to Firebase Storage. Specifically, some users have reported encountering 400 errors, even though everything seems to work perfectly on Android. In this guide, we'll explore the problem and offer a straightforward solution to get your file uploads functioning properly on iOS.

Understanding the Problem

When trying to upload files to Firebase Storage, you might see the error message similar to this:

Key Points to Note

The error occurs exclusively on iOS devices.

Downloads work without any issues, indicating that the backend setup is correct.

Any operations with Firestore are also functioning perfectly across both platforms.

Identifying the Solution

After investigating the issue, it turns out that the primary culprit behind these 400 errors is the absence of the contentType metadata during file uploads. HTTP requests to Firebase require specific metadata to be included, and omitting it can lead to upload failures.

Step-By-Step Solution

To resolve the issue, follow these steps to set the contentType metadata properly during your upload process:

Import Necessary Packages: Ensure you have the required Firebase and Flutter dependencies set up in your project.

Prepare Metadata for Upload:

You need to construct metadata using SettableMetadata. Here’s how you can set it up for an image upload:

If you run into any further issues, double-check your metadata settings and confirm that your backend rules are correctly configured to allow uploads.
