When we use action extension with iOS13 Mail app, we don’t get the file url of the selected file. Instead we get it as _NSItemProviderSandboxedResource.
The action extension works with other apps like DropBox(PDF) , Photos(PNG) etc but only with Mail it doesn’t.
guard let inputItem = self.extensionContext?.inputItems.first as? NSExtensionItem, let provider = inputItem.attachments?.first else {
return
}
if let typeIdentifier = provider.registeredTypeIdentifiers.first {
provider.loadItem(forTypeIdentifier: typeIdentifier, options: nil, completionHandler: { [weak self] (fileURL, error) in
OperationQueue.main.addOperation({
print(fileURL as Any)
guard let fileURL = fileURL as? URL else {
here ///On iOS13 mail app Its not a file URL. HOW Do we handle this . We get _NSItemProviderSandboxedResource
//This is not an URL
fatalError()
}
print(fileURL)
//fileURL is proper in iOS12
})
})
}
