My iOS app creates files that I'm storing in iCloud. I've created the container, and am writing files with the ubiquity URL. It appears to be working..... except...The files are not showing in the iOS Files app, nor are they in the iCloud drive on my Mac.

Any tips or example code for this?

I went through the YouTube video "Supporting the Files App in iOS 11 using Swift" The code is on GitHub. It compiles and runs fine, but the files do not appear in Files.app. I'm expecting to find another layer of security or something I need to do to make this work with iOS 14.

Of course, I figure it out shortly after posting the question. The issue was NSUbiquitousContainers entry in info.plist was wrong when I first ran the app. I fixed it and re-ran. But, the entry is only reloaded by iOS when the build number changes. Bumping that and now it's working fine.
