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.
