Yes it is actually possible. Just open the info.plist file and add the key "UIFileSharingEnabled" and set it to YES. Then you're done.

There's a dedicated article in the Flutter cookbook extensively explaining how to read and write files to disk using the path_provider_plugin and dart.io library.

by path_provider you can only store data in Documents(NSDocumentDirectory for ios) and Temporary directory and getExternalStorageDirectory will not work on ios

Thanks for the reply Mazin, I could able to create file under applications directory however in ios it's not visible under Files Application. I want a way to show a file saved by my application in Files app so that user can export/share it.
