Hi

I'm trying to upload a file (small) using ktor (android/iOS) ,
I can see some old snippet, any new flows ?

also are these right approaches
• pass base64 (platform) -> convert to ByteArray (common) -> make request
• pass file uri -> read file (expect/actual in common) -> ByteArray -> make request

any idea of this

hey @hafiz
This was last year, i think now there has to be a way to read ByteArray
i went with the bae64 approach since then, it was easy
create a helper class

data class File(val name:String,val base64:String,val type:String?=null)

then just decode the base64 into byearray and send in ktor

@Ahmed na I have byteArray image from third party library give but problem is that this byteArray still can't upload to the server.

hi @hafiz
I've shared this under my core lib, see if it helps

it's need early access add this in your dependencyResolutionManagement

maven { url = uri("<https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/staging>") }
