Current behavior

File picker works fine on web and android but on IOS its throwing below error when selecting any 'image/png', 'image/jpeg', 'application/pdf' files. This error is from simulator running IOS 17 but getting the same error on real device too. I have tested it on IOS 15/16 simulators, getting the same error.

Failed to associate thumbnails for picked URL file:///Users/abhi/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/77AADAD7-F7A5-4729-B531-0B932B65C706/data/Containers/Data/Application/CA959BDB-3282-47CD-A7AD-A38E567BF9C4/Documents/receipt_2024-12-26.pdf with the Inbox copy file:///Users/abhi/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/77AADAD7-F7A5-4729-B531-0B932B65C706/data/Containers/Data/Application/CA959BDB-3282-47CD-A7AD-A38E567BF9C4/tmp/com.app.fitness-Inbox/receipt_2024-12-26.pdf: Error Domain=QLThumbnailErrorDomain Code=102 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x600000ce8ae0 {Error Domain=GSLibraryErrorDomain Code=3 "Generation not found" UserInfo={NSDescription=Generation not found}}}

Expected behavior

It should select the file without any errors.

Reproduction

https://github.com/capawesome-team/capacitor-plugins/tree/main/packages/file-picker

Steps to reproduce

1. Using the same code snippet used as example in file picker repo:

try {
const result: any = await FilePicker.pickFiles({
        types: ['image/png', 'image/jpeg', 'application/pdf'],
        multiple: false,
      });
      const file = result.files[0];
}catch (err) {
      if (err instanceof Error) {
        this.utilityService.showToast(err.message, 'toast-card-red');
      }
    }

2. Weird thing is , this error is not even caught as error. Xcode logs shows this error but application doesn't throw any error and file variable remains undefined.

Other information

I have tried using @capawesome/capacitor-file-picker 6.2.0 but still got the same error.
