I found the solution for my problem :
i read the stream instead of the file path

        byte[] b = ReadToEnd(stream);  // olde code = File.ReadAllBytes(SelectedImageFile.Path.ToString());

this is the function to convert the stream to baits :

public static byte[] ReadToEnd(System.IO.Stream stream)
        {
            long originalPosition = 0;

            if (stream.CanSeek)
            {
                originalPosition = stream.Position;
                stream.Position = 0;
            }

            try
            {
                byte[] readBuffer = new byte[4096];

                int totalBytesRead = 0;
                int bytesRead;

                while ((bytesRead = stream.Read(readBuffer, totalBytesRead, readBuffer.Length - totalBytesRead)) > 0)
                {
                    totalBytesRead += bytesRead;

                    if (totalBytesRead == readBuffer.Length)
                    {
                        int nextByte = stream.ReadByte();
                        if (nextByte != -1)
                        {
                            byte[] temp = new byte[readBuffer.Length * 2];
                            Buffer.BlockCopy(readBuffer, 0, temp, 0, readBuffer.Length);
                            Buffer.SetByte(temp, totalBytesRead, (byte)nextByte);
                            readBuffer = temp;
                            totalBytesRead++;
                        }
                    }
                }

                byte[] buffer = readBuffer;
                if (readBuffer.Length != totalBytesRead)
                {
                    buffer = new byte[totalBytesRead];
                    Buffer.BlockCopy(readBuffer, 0, buffer, 0, totalBytesRead);
                }
                return buffer;
            }
            finally
            {
                if (stream.CanSeek)
                {
                    stream.Position = originalPosition;
                }
            }
        }

Hi thanks @Leon Lu (Shanghai Wicresoft Co,.Ltd.)
This my code :

 await CrossMedia.Current.Initialize();  
            if (!CrossMedia.Current.IsPickPhotoSupported)  
            {  
                await DisplayAlert("", "نوع الصورة غير مدعوم", "موافق");  
                return;  
            }  
            var MediaOptino = new PickMediaOptions()  
            {  
                PhotoSize = PhotoSize.Medium  
            };  
  
            //if (Device.RuntimePlatform.Equals("iOS")) { await Task.Delay(100); }  
            var SelectedImageFile = await CrossMedia.Current.PickPhotoAsync(MediaOptino);  
            if (SelectedImageFile == null)  
            {  
                await DisplayAlert("", "لم تقم بإختيار صورة ", "موافق");  
                return;  
            }  
  
  
            // ProfileImg.Source = ImageSource.FromStream(() => SelectedImageFile.GetStream());

            var t = SelectedImageFile.Path.ToString();

            var imageContent = new ByteArrayContent(b, 0, b.Length);
