Dart - Supabase - not able to upload files picked using image_picker to supabase storage

[sumchans]

I am trying to upload an image picked using the dart image_picker package to Supabase storage. I don't see any error but there is no upload happening.

The link to the file picked by the image_picker package is in this format - /Users/test/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/BCEC2CDE-0B63-4F09-B101-239E96AD7C2D/data/Containers/Data/Application/8748B187-56FF-4553-B8E3-2EB4218F3AF9/tmp/image_picker_01E551D2-7C5A-406E-98A3-5EDD9E19C1C9-17833-000002F4624B7ACF.jpg

I have declared a PickedFile variable like below and I am storing the above file path to the pickedfile variable

PickedFile? imageURI;

Here is my supabase dart upload code -

class SupabaseConfig {
  SupabaseClient initialize() {
    const SUPABASE_URL = 'supabase-url';
    const SUPABASE_KEY =
        'supabase-key';
    final supabaseClient = SupabaseClient(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_KEY);
    return supabaseClient;
  }
}

SupabaseConfig supabaseClient = new SupabaseConfig();
final client = supabaseClient.initialize();
final file = File(imageURI?.path as String);
final storageResponse = await client.storage
         .from('avatars')
         .upload('image.jpg', file);
