You'll have to forgive me, I am still pretty new to Swift, but I'm really struggling to figure out what I'm doing wrong or how I can fix it. I'm working on an app that generates an image from some views and then exports that image, but it always returns this very vague error:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (SwiftUI.FileExportOperation.Error error 0.)
Here's most of the program:
import SwiftUI
import UniformTypeIdentifiers
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var backgroundColor = Color.black
@State private var fileExporterIsPresented = false
@State private var image: NSImage?
@State private var fileExporterErrorAlertIsPresented = false
@State private var fileExporterErrorDescription: String?
var body: some View {
let wallpaper = Rectangle()
.foregroundStyle(backgroundColor)
.aspectRatio(16 / 9, contentMode: .fit)
VStack {
wallpaper
.clipShape(.rect(cornerRadius: 10))
.overlay {
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10)
.strokeBorder(.separator, lineWidth: 5)
}
ColorPicker("Background Color", selection: $backgroundColor, supportsOpacity: false)
Button("Generate Wallpaper") {
let renderer = ImageRenderer(content: wallpaper.frame(width: 3840, height: 2160))
image = renderer.nsImage
fileExporterIsPresented = true
}
.fileExporter(
isPresented: $fileExporterIsPresented,
item: image,
contentTypes: [UTType.heic, UTType.png]
) { result in
if case .failure(let error) = result {
fileExporterErrorDescription = error.localizedDescription
fileExporterErrorAlertIsPresented = true
}
}
.alert("File Exporter Failure", isPresented: $fileExporterErrorAlertIsPresented, actions: {
Button("OK") {}
}, message: {
if let fileExporterErrorDescription {
Text(fileExporterErrorDescription)
}
})
.dialogSeverity(.critical)
}
.padding()
}
}
#Preview {
ContentView()
}
@valentinegb Do you have the appropriate App Sandbox capability enabled ?
If you're using use file import modifiers like fileImporter(isPresented:allowedContentTypes:onCompletion:), and file exporter modifiers like fileExporter(isPresented:document:contentType:defaultFilename:onCompletion:) you might need to grant Read Only or Read/Write permission from the User Selected File menu.
