PDFKit works fine with the iOS 14 app.
But when I display the same ViewController inside AppClips, the PDF is not displayed.
( I checked Clips Target Membership. )
Is there any solution?

I Solved it.

PDFDocument(url: URL) does not work in App Clip. It returns nil.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/app_clips/choosing_the_right_functionality_for_your_app_clip

Code Block language(lldb) po PDFDocument(url: pdfURL)

nil

So, I used URLSession to download the PDF data to a local file temporarily.

I hope this will help :)
