I have downloaded a pdf using code below. I am able to find the file in App Data Container, but from app data container my device needs Mac, x code or iTunes etc.
Can I give a distinction path to Documents OR another place to find the pdf in iPhone files? I have an option to open the file with iBook but it is not there.
My code to download the file is here:
func downloadFile(){
let url = "https://www.tutorialspoint.com/swift/swift_tutorial.pdf"
let fileName = "MyFile"
savePdf(urlString: url, fileName: fileName)
}
func savePdf(urlString:String, fileName:String) {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
let url = URL(string: urlString)
let pdfData = try? Data.init(contentsOf: url!)
let resourceDocPath = (FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)).last! as URL
let pdfNameFromUrl = "YourAppName-\(fileName).pdf"
let actualPath = resourceDocPath.appendingPathComponent(pdfNameFromUrl)
do {
try pdfData?.write(to: actualPath, options: .atomic)
print("pdf successfully saved!")
//file is downloaded in app data container, I can find file from x code > devices > MyApp > download Container >This container has the file
} catch {
print("Pdf could not be saved")
}
}
}
Configure your app so that its files appear in the Files app by adding below lines to your Info.plist
file.
<key>UIFileSharingEnabled</key>
<true/>
<key>LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace</key>
<true/>
OR
Just like below using Xcode
Note: Remember that you must be running iOS 11 or above.
