I've been working on a new Document-based app, and was super glad about the new UIDocumentBrowserController...trying to roll my own solution for the document browser UI was tricky!
I'm having some trouble getting the browser to open documents after they've been created.
What happens now is that when I choose to create a new document in the document browser, the document is created and opened as expected, although an error message is logged. However, after the doc is closed, I cannot reopen the file, either immediately or upon subsequent launches, even though the document is displayed. However, a weird clue here is that if I stop running the app after creating the document, but without adding new information to it (triggering the save cycle), and run the project again, I can open the file correctly. Whuch makes me think that there's something in the way the files are being saved that is the issue. (Note: At this phase, I'm working on getting the local, non/icloud implentation working, before I move on to the icloud implementation.)
Here is the error message at any point in the code whenthe document is saved to disk (or at least most of the time!): 2017-06-20 13:21:58.254938-0500 Sermon Design 2 iOS[22454:5000138] [default] [ERROR] Could not get attribute values for item file:///Users/stevenhovater/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/9A4364F2-B3A1-4AD9-B680-FB4BC876C707/data/Containers/Data/Application/DD534ED8-C4A3-40FE-9777-AED961976878/Documents/Untitled-9.sermon. Error: Error Domain=NSFileProviderInternalErrorDomain Code=1 "The reader is not permitted to access the URL." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=The reader is not permitted to access the URL.}
I suspect that the issue lies somewher in my document types plists, which I've tried to set up by imitating the setup in the video for wwdc 2017 session 229.
My docs are encapuslated by an NSData object, using what I take to be a pretty standard subclass implentation of UIDocument. (I'm omitting the code to generate the thumbnails)
override func contents(forType typeName: String) throws -> Any {
print("Saving Document Changes")
if sermon != nil {
let newData = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: sermon!)
return newData
} else {
let newData = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: Sermon())
return newData
}
}
override func fileAttributesToWrite(to url: URL, for saveOperation: UIDocumentSaveOperation) throws -> [AnyHashable : Any] {
let thumbnail:UIImage = self.createThumbnail()
let thumbnaildict = [URLThumbnailDictionaryItem.NSThumbnail1024x1024SizeKey : thumbnail]
let dict = [URLResourceKey.thumbnailDictionaryKey:thumbnaildict]
return dict
}
override func load(fromContents contents: Any, ofType typeName: String?) throws {
guard let newSermon:Sermon = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObject(with: contents as! Data) as? Sermon else{
throw documentErrors.invalidFile
}
self.sermon = newSermon
}
In my subclass of UIDocumentBrowserViewController, Here is my code for getting a local filename and for creating the new document.
func documentBrowser(_ controller: UIDocumentBrowserViewController, didRequestDocumentCreationWithHandler importHandler: @escaping (URL?, UIDocumentBrowserViewController.ImportMode) -> Void) {
var newDocumentURL: URL? = nil
print("creating new local document")
guard let target = self.newLocalFilename() else {
return
}
let targetSuffix = target.lastPathComponent
let tempURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: NSTemporaryDirectory() + targetSuffix)
let newDocument:SDDocument = SDDocument(fileURL: tempURL)
newDocument.sermon = Sermon()
/
newDocument.save(to: tempURL, for: .forCreating) { (saveSuccess) in
/
guard saveSuccess else {
/
importHandler(nil, .none)
return
}
/
newDocument.close(completionHandler: { (closeSuccess) in
/
guard closeSuccess else {
/
importHandler(nil, .none)
return
}
/
importHandler(tempURL, .move)
})
}
}
func newLocalFilename() -> URL? {
let fileManager = FileManager()
guard let baseURL = self.localDocumentsDirectoryURL.appendingPathComponent("Untitled")
else {return nil}
var target = baseURL.appendingPathExtension(DocumentBrowserViewController.documentExtension)
var nameSuffix = 2
while fileManager.fileExists(atPath: target.path) {
target = URL(fileURLWithPath: baseURL.path + "-\(nameSuffix).\(DocumentBrowserViewController.documentExtension)")
nameSuffix += 1
}
let targetSuffix = target.lastPathComponent
print("Target name: \(targetSuffix)")
print("new url: \(target)")
return target
}
