 file_picker:
     git:
       url: https://github.com/miguelpruivo/plugins_flutter_file_picker.git
+
+```
+
+and the [image_picker](https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/image_picker#-readme-tab-).
+```
+image_picker: ^0.4.10
 ```
 
 ## Android
 Add `<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />` to your app `AndroidManifest.xml` file.
 
 ## iOS
-No configuration required - the plugin should work out of the box.
+Since we are using *image_picker* as a dependency from this plugin to load paths from gallery and camera, we need the following keys to your _Info.plist_ file, located in `<project root>/ios/Runner/Info.plist`:
+
+* `NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription` - describe why your app needs permission for the photo library. This is called _Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description_ in the visual editor.
+* `NSCameraUsageDescription` - describe why your app needs access to the camera. This is called _Privacy - Camera Usage Description_ in the visual editor.
+* `NSMicrophoneUsageDescription` - describe why your app needs access to the microphone, if you intend to record videos. This is called _Privacy - Microphone Usage Description_ in the visual editor.
 
 ## To-do
