Cypress- SelectFile() Not working as expected in Chrome

Ive been trying to use cy.selectFile() to upload a file in Cypress test. The following code looks as such:

cy.get('#new-project-photo', { force: true }).selectFile({
    contents: 'cypress/fixtures/media/003_StreetView.jpg',
    fileName: 'image01.jpg',
    mimeType: 'image/jpeg',
}, { force: true });

The code when running the test through FF runs as expected and the file is uploaded with a 200 on the post request. However when running the test through Chrome. I get a 400 with an error of {"error":{"message":"Missing required parameter - file"}} (Coming from server). The upload does work as expected when manually doing the upload in chrome.

The URL it sends the POST to is a different domain then the base url of the tested site. Could this be the cause? Im also curious about having this in the config: "chromeWebSecurity": false, Which is needed to load the site properly in chrome.

Ive also tried wrapping the image in a fixture first, same issue.

Anyone know what i might be doing wrong and why it only seems to work in FF?
