Hello,

I’m using the Firebase plugin along with nativeUtils.displayImagePicker and nativeUtils.displayCameraPicker to upload images to the Firebase Storage via uploadFile. However, when I do this, Google doesn’t see the image as an image file but shows it as Type: “application/octet-stream”, whereas if I upload an image directly through the Firebase Console is sees it as Type: “image/jpeg”. I wouldn’t normally mind but I added the “Resize Images” extension to the console and it doesn’t see the images uploaded through Felgo as images and therefore doesn’t resize them (images I manually upload through the console are resized as expected).

So, if there is a way to automatically resize images before uploading them, that would work well, otherwise, is there a way to get Google Firebase to recognize images as actual images? I’m using the code provided on this website.

    AppButton {
        text: "Add Photo from Gallery"
        flat: false
        onClicked: {
            nativeUtils.displayImagePicker("Pick Image")
        }
    }

    Connections {
        target: nativeUtils
        onCameraPickerFinished: {
            if(accepted) {
                uploadImage(path)
            }
        }
        onImagePickerFinished: {
            if (accepted) {
                uploadImage(path)
            }
        }

        function uploadImage(path) {
            var remote_path = "users/" + dataModel.user_id + "/test-image" + Date.now() + ".jpg"
            fbStorage.uploadFile(path, remote_path,
                                 function (progress, finished, success, downloadUrl) {
                                     console.debug("uploadFile")
                                     if (!finished) {
                                         status.text = "Uploading... " + progress.toFixed(2) + "%"
                                     } else if (success) {
                                         console.debug("downloadUrl: ", downloadUrl)
                                         status.text = "Upload complete"
                                         photoModel.append({p: path})
                                     } else {
                                         status.text = "Upload failed"
                                     }
                                 })
        }
    }

Thank you,
