Share Extension can access files from the Photos app but not the Files app
Share Extension can access files from the Photos app but not the Files app. In case of the Photos app the file url is something like file:///var/mobile/... In case of the Files app the url stars with file:///private/var/mobile/... The following error is thrown in case of the Files app Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file “file.pdf” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file." However the file is there, it was selected via the Files app and the share button was used to launch the Share Extension. Also the access to the file is within the following block url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() ... url.stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource() Another issue is that the Share Extension does not appear in the Settings / Privacy / Files and Folders. Here are the apps which have the "Applications that have requested access to files and folders will appear here". What is the solution to allow the Share extension access the files from the Files app ?

The application does not have permission to open "Downloads"
My app has the App Sandbox enabled and the File Access to Downloads folder is set to Read / Write in XCode. Upon clicking on a button the app should open the Finder displaying the Downloads folder. The following code snippet is used to launch the Finder if let inspirationsDirectory = FileManager.default.urls(for: .downloadsDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first{ NSWorkspace.shared.open(inspirationsDirectory) } On my MacOS it works well. After releasing the app to the AppStore and installing it on another Mac the following message is received upon clicking the button: The application does not have permission to open "Downloads" Which would be the solution to launch the Finder successfully ? Is it possible to launch the Finder showing the Downloads folder sorted by the Date Added column descending ?
