UIDocumentPickerViewController iOS13 not Working

Question

On my application, i use UIDocumentPickerViewController to allow the user to pick files (import), but starting from iOS 13 that functionality stop working, basically the document picker is open, but the user can't choose a file (taping the file does nothing).

I made a simple sample just to isolate the code:

class ViewController: UIViewController, UIDocumentPickerDelegate {

    @IBAction func openDocumentPicker(_ sender: Any) {
        let types = [String(kUTTypePDF)]
        let documentPickerViewController = UIDocumentPickerViewController(documentTypes: types, in: .import)
        documentPickerViewController.delegate = self
        present(documentPickerViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

    func documentPickerWasCancelled(_ controller: UIDocumentPickerViewController) {
        print("Cancelled")
    }

    func documentPicker(_ controller: UIDocumentPickerViewController, didPickDocumentsAt urls: [URL]) {
        print("didPickDocuments at \(urls)")
    }

}

Answer 1

When I got this issue, I realised that it's working when choosing files from "Browse" tab because I implemented the method "didPickDocumentAt", but it was not working when I tapped on files from "Recent" tab.

To make it work on "Recent" tab, I'd to implement the method "didPickDocumentsAt", which makes the same thing, but it handles an array of URLs.

On Mojave there's the problem, make sure you upgrade your os to Catalina.
