You can open Files app in specific folder using shareddocuments: URL scheme and providing file path.

Example:

func getDocumentsDirectory() -> URL { // returns your application folder
    let paths = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)
    let documentsDirectory = paths[0]
    return documentsDirectory
}

let path = getDocumentsDirectory().absoluteString.replacingOccurrences(of: "file://", with: "shareddocuments://")
let url = URL(string: path)!

UIApplication.shared.open(url)
