We are trying to access and copy some files [e.g., video file] from another PC on local network using SMB protocol. We found some third party libraries like AMSMB2 for this. But we want to try to use Apple inbuilt features like File management mentioned in - https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/719/
- We could able to select file from SMB server using document picker in app manually. Also we got its url in debug which gets generated under "Shared" section in files app.
The URL I get from document picker is -> /private/var/mobile/Library/LiveFiles/com.apple.filesystems.smbclientd/asd0QUsers/testuser/iOS/SMB_ShareFolder
- Now we want to avoid manual selection of file to user.
We want directly open "/private/var/mobile/Library/LiveFiles/com.apple.filesystems.smbclientd/asd0QUsers/testuser/iOS/SMB_ShareFolder" path as soon as document picker opens. So that user can directly select file. But it is not working. It opens normal files app and all folders.
Getting below error -
Access Shared URL directly using documentPicker "Error - CFURLResourceIsReachable failed because it was passed a URL which has no scheme"
Sharing the code which I tried to open this shared folder directly :
let url = URL (string: "/private/var/mobile/Library/LiveFiles/com.apple.filesystems.smbclientd/asd0QUsers/TestUser/iOS/SMB_ShareFolder")
let documentPicker = UIDocumentPickerViewController(forOpeningContentTypes: [UTType.folder])
documentPicker.delegate = self
documentPicker.allowsMultipleSelection = false
documentPicker.modalPresentationStyle = .custom
documentPicker.definesPresentationContext = true
documentPicker.directoryURL = url!
documentPicker.transitioningDelegate = customTransitioningDelegate
present(documentPicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
I get error in console - CFURLResourceIsReachable failed because it was passed a URL which has no scheme

"The file couldn’t be opened because the specified URL type isn’t supported."
Can you please provide inputs if it is possible access files directly in this way? or any other suggestions.
