Hi,

I want to import GPX files into my iOS App. It works fine in the simulator using:

.fileImporter(isPresented: $showFileImporter, allowedContentTypes: [UTType(filenameExtension: "gpx")!,
UTType(filenameExtension: "GPX")!],
allowsMultipleSelection: true)

But running the app on an actual device (iOS 15 Beta 6), I am not allowed to select any of the GPX files. The strange thing is, that if I am using "jpg" instead of "gpx" I can select "jpg" files just fine. So it seems, that it has to do something with the "GPX" type being 'custom'.

Any idea/hint what I am missing?

Thank you!

Michael

It only does not work, if the data is stored on iCloud Drive. If it is copied over locally on the iPad it works. So the real question is: How do I make it work on iCloud Drive as well...
