DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM When my Document-based macOS SwiftUI app starts up, it always presents a document picker. I would like it to open any documents that were open when the app last quit, and if none were open, open an "Untitled" document. I understand that there is a setting in System Settings-> Desktop & Dock ("Close windows when quitting an application") that will cause windows to reopen when it is turned off, but I'd like to give users a chance to opt-in for reopening docs even when that is turned on, since it is difficult to find, on by default, and might not be the desired behavior for all apps. I don't see any way to get a list of currently open documents to persist them at shutdown.
And even if that's considered a bad idea, I'd at least like a way to prevent the Document picker from being shown at startup and instead create an Untitled document if no documents were open.
Ideally, I'd like a way to provide this functionality in SwiftUI that doesn't require macOS 15 or later
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Create a SwiftUI macOS document application in Xcode using the provided template, Give it any name you want
Run it, create a new ".exampletext" document, save it.
Quit the app with the document open. Re-run the app, document picker is shown.
Cancel the document picker and quit the app with no windows shown. Re-run the app, document picker is shown.
