How to create .drawing file for PencilKit?

If you look at Apple's

PencilKit
Sample, you'll noticed apple used a dataset file called
Notes.dataset
to save
Pencilkit
draws. Inside the
Notes.dataset
, it contains a general json file for Asset Catalogue.


But more interesting, there is a file called

color.drawing
, which saves the actual data produced by
Pencilkit
. My question is, how do you create this file as a developer? For example, I want to create a tutorial using
Pencilkit
and save it as a ".drawing" file, to load up on first launch.

You can serialize the data from a drawing by calling PKDrawing -dataRepresentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation/pencilkit/pkdrawing/3281878-datarepresentation
