The Files app in the iOS 18 beta simulator appears to be read-only. I am unable to:
- create folders
- copy files into it by dragging them from macOS
- safe files from safari
I have been unsuccessful at finding a way to popular any file or folder in the Files app which is preventing me from testing some scenarios in my app where I import files using the files sheet.
The earliest I tried was beta 3 and it still persists in beta 7. The iOS 17 simulator works fine in comparison.
My mac is a 2019 macbook pro running Sonoma 14.5.
To reproduce:
New folder
- Launch Files app in iOS simulator
- Tap into "On my phone"
- From the top menu tap "New Folder"
- (nothing happens)
Download a file
- Launch safari
- Find a file like a PDF to download
- Tap on the down arrow in the toolbar
- Files opens up with the filename in the textfield at the bottom
- The "Save" button is grayed out.
Copy from macOS
- Open the Files app in iOS and browse to a local folder
- drag a file from the macbook onto the simulator
- the sheet appears with the filename in the text field
- The "Save" button is grayed out
