File picker returns nothing when tried to pick files bigger than 50MB

Version: 5.1.0

Platform: Android 13

const attachmentFiles: PickFilesResult = await FilePicker.pickFiles({ multiple: true, readData: true, })

File picker returns nothing when tried to pick files bigger than 50MB. Files which are small in size (<10MB) work as it should. But if selected together with a bigger file, again returns nothing. No console error or anything.

Is this the expected behavior and is there any max file size requirement? Or is this a bug?

If you use readData: true, then the files are converted to Base64 strings. With small files this is no problem, but with large files it is (OOM exception). From which file size exactly, that depends on the device, the configuration etc.. I recommend not to use readData and to handle everything on native layer.
