I would like to be able to import pdf files from the Files app to my app and not sure how to achieve this.
Is there a FilePicker or something like that which I can use for a similar behavior to the apple Mail app when you add an attachment to an email? With mail app when you press "add document" it opens a document browser that you can select a file. I believe this is from iCloud Drive.
You can use .fileImporter in SwiftUI:
struct ContentView : View {
@State private var presentImporter = false
var body: some View {
Button("Open") {
presentImporter = true
}.fileImporter(isPresented: $presentImporter, allowedContentTypes: [.pdf]) { result in
switch result {
case .success(let url):
print(url)
//use `url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource()` if you are going to read the data
case .failure(let error):
print(error)
}
}
}
}
