Hello,

using UIDocumentPickerViewController and startAccessingSecurityScopedResource(), I can access to a directory on iOS using Bookmark data, but when I save a Bookmark data, security-scoped bookmark not survive quitting the app and re-launching it.

I used the Apple example here but my app doesn't appear in Settings > Privacy > Files and Folders ?

Security-scoped bookmark is-it available on iOS ?

Thanks.

Technically, iOS doesn’t support security-scoped bookmarks. That’s why this option is only available on macOS.

However, if you have access to a resource then you should be able to persist that access using a regular bookmark. Is that not working for you?
