Hi @BoikoIlya!

By using the Save File Picker UI, you can do it like explain in the documentation:

val image: ByteArray

// FileKit Core
val file = FileKit.saveFile(
    baseName = "image",
    extension = "png",
    initialDirectory = "/custom/initial/path",
    bytes = image
)

// FileKit Compose
val launcher = rememberFileSaverLauncher() { file ->
    // Handle the saved file
}
launcher.launch(
    baseName = "image",
    extension = "png",
    initialDirectory = "/custom/initial/path",
    bytes = image
)

And you need to find a way to get the url of the gallery in iOS that you can pass it to initialDirectory parameter.

If you want to save direct bytes to a file without using picker UI, you'll need to code this yourself as it's not supported yet with FileKit.

It's now possible to save an image to the gallery on Android and iOS using FileKit version 0.10.0-beta01.

You can read the documentation here: https://filekit.mintlify.app/core/image-utils#saving-images-to-gallery
