Get Url from Open Dialog of Standard Swift Document-Based Application

Get URL from Open dialog of standard Swift document-based application

DocumentGroup just needs a binding to the document to initialize the ContentView with, so have a func on the document grab the url & return the binding:

App:

import SwiftUI

@main
struct FileOpenApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
DocumentGroup(newDocument: FileOpenDocument()) { file in
ContentView(document: file.document.setSourceURL(file))
}
}
}

Document:

struct FileOpenDocument: FileDocument {
var sourceURL: URL?

init() {
}

// needs to be mutating to avoid "self is immutable" error
mutating func setSourceURL(_ config: FileDocumentConfiguration< FileOpenDocument >) -> Binding<FileOpenDocument> {
sourceURL = config.fileURL
return config.$document
}
}

Get path for NSFileWrapper

No, there's no way to get the full path from NSFileWrapper.

Ok, for anyone who ends up here looking for a similar issue.

After a chunk of digging I found the answer, for me, was to add

    UserDefaults.standard.removeObject(forKey: "NSNavLastRootDirectory")

into the app startup. It was also suggested to do

UserDefaults.standard.removeObject(forKey: "NSNavLastCurrentDirectory")

However, just doing the first appears to suppress the file open dialog, doing both causes the file open dialog to open with the user Documents directory.

Why is my iOS app not showing up in other apps' Open in dialog?

For all standard file format:
