Description
### Description
I have implemented the Maui FilePicker.
I am running a MacCatalyst program.
I have no problem selecting one or a few files but if I try to select a lot of files the FilePicker simply returns zero results without any error.
I made a video.

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Create a .Net Maui program that targets MacCatalyst.
2. Implement the Maui.File.Picker setting jpeg and png options (as per repo) did not test without this requirement.
3. Select 1000 or more files.
I cannot send the 1000 jpegs so you will need to get those to test, I suppose.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the .NET MAUI FilePicker implementation for MacCatalyst and reproduce the issue in a .NET MAUI app by selecting 1,000 or more JPEG or PNG files. Trace why the picker returns zero results without an error, then verify that large multi-file selections return the selected files without regressing smaller selections.
