I'm trying to open a file from Files iPad app after a user chose to open a file with my app
In iOS 16 or before I do
NSString *pathForFile = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:mad:"Documents/Inbox/myfile.customFile"];

if ([fileManager fileExistsAtPath:pathForFile])
{
// Do something
}
but on iOS 17 there is not Documents/Inbox directory.
Anyone know how to do it ?

thanks

Does your app support Open In Place? If so, there won't be anything in the Inbox directory, and your app will be launched with the URL passed to your scene delegate.

Also, I would recommend using NSFileManager to get the path to the documents directory rather than appending a string to the home directory path.
