Description
Expected behaviour
Directories are available to be selected in apps such as Buffer / Textastic / iA Writer
Actual behaviour
When entering a directory selection picker, the Nextcloud provider is completely unavailable (greyed out)
Steps to reproduce
Attempt to select a directory for use with one of the previously mentioned apps
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
Would be nice to have full support for the system functionality
iOS version
14.2 (18B5083a)
App version
3.0.12 (5)
Server configuration
N/A
Notes
iSH and Textastic seem to have been working on this, though documentation seems a bit scarce (https://twitter.com/palmin/status/1177860144258076673).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the directory-selection picker on iOS 14.2 with Buffer, Textastic, or iA Writer, then review the Nextcloud provider integration and Apple’s directory selection requirements. Done means the Nextcloud provider is available rather than greyed out when an app requests a directory.
