### Platform(s)

### Current Behavior
When saving a file to Directory.Documents or Directory.ExternalStorage on iOS, they are being stored to a folder with the name of the app instead of right inside the Documents folder. When the app is deleted, the folder and files within are also delete.
### Expected Behavior
With Directory.Documents and Directory.ExternalStorage, they are supposed to persist.
### Code Reproduction
```
const options: WriteFileOptions = {
path: 'test.pdf',
data: data,
directory: Directory.Documents,
}
return Filesystem.writeFile(options)
```
