Reply to Security-scoped bookmarks to iCloud files across devices
Again, I guess that I was not clear. Let me give me an example. The app lets users create notes, but also attach files to them, not by copying those files but by keeping references to them, thus the reliance on security scoped bookmarks, so that users can restart the app and still access the attached files. This works well, until users launch the app on a different device than the one used to attach the files, but where the files are still accessible, e.g. stored in iCloud or Dropbox (all devices are connected to the same iCloud and Dropbox accounts). In that case, the bookmarks are not resolved. Will try to change to document scope instead of app scope, but it seems it should work either way. Cheers.

Good point on portability and I suppose that I did not exactly mean to say that. What I was really trying to say is that, if you create a legit security scoped bookmark and store it using CloudKit from your own iCloud account, then it should work regardless of the device from which you later access it, as long as you are also securely signed into your account on that device. If I use the document picker to bookmark a file from my iPhone, I should then be able to access that bookmark from my iPad connected to the same iCloud account.
