In my MAUI application, there is a profile page where users can view and edit their personal details. This page includes functionality for updating the profile image. Users have three options for adding a profile image:

1. Taking a photo using the camera.
2. Selecting an image from the gallery.
3. Choosing an avatar from the resources included in the project.

When users attempt to save their profile details along with an image, the image is not getting saved. This issue occurs specifically with images taken from the camera or selected as an avatar from the project resources. For saving profile details, I am using a POST API call. The issue does not seem to affect images selected from the gallery; these images are saved correctly.

For taking a photo from the camera and gallery, I use a Microsoft.Maui.Media.MediaPicker package and for combining the path, I use Microsoft.Maui.Storage.FileSystem.

Below is the code for taking a photo from the camera and combing the path:

FileResult photo;
photo = await MediaPicker.CapturePhotoAsync();  
if (photo != null)  
{  
    var imageFile = Path.Combine(FileSystem.CacheDirectory, photo.FileName);  
    using (var stream = await photo.OpenReadAsync())  
    using (var newStream = File.OpenWrite(imageFile))  
    await stream.CopyToAsync(newStream);  
    profilephoto.Source = imageFile;  
    isPicture = true;  
}  
else  
{  
    isPicture = false;  
}  

Below is the code for taking an image from the gallery and combing the path:

FileResult photo;
photo = await MediaPicker.PickPhotoAsync();  
if (photo != null)  
{  
    var imageFile = Path.Combine(FileSystem.CacheDirectory, photo.FileName);  
    using (var stream = await photo.OpenReadAsync())  
    using (var newStream = File.OpenWrite(imageFile))  
    await stream.CopyToAsync(newStream);  
    profilephoto.Source = imageFile; 
    isPicture = true;  
}  
else  
{  
    isPicture = false; 
} 

Below is the code to send the image taken from the camera to the POST API: (Not working)

content.Add(new StreamContent(await photo.OpenReadAsync()), ""file"", $""{photo.FullPath}"");

Below is the code to send the avatar to the POST API: (Not working)

string avatarFileName = "Avatars." + selectedAvatar;  
var assembly = typeof(ProfilePage).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;  
var stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream($"{assembly.GetName().Name}.{avatarFileName}");  
var streamContent = new StreamContent(stream);  
content.Add(streamContent, "file", avatarFileName);

Below is the code to send the image taken from the gallery to the POST API: (Working fine)

var fileBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(photo.FullPath);  
ByteArrayContent byteContent = new ByteArrayContent(fileBytes);  
content.Add(byteContent, "file", Path.GetFileName(photo.FullPath)); 

I am looking for a solution to send an image from the camera and from the project resource using the ByteArrayContent. Gallery image was working fine as per the above codes.
