Description
For security reasons we need an option to disable the FileProvider Extension via MDM. Because the FileProvider allows to access in ownCloud.app stored files inside Apples Files.App or from other apps.
Expected behaviour
After this option is enabled, files stored in ownCloud.app cannot accessed with FileProvider Extension.
Actual behaviour
FileProvider Extension is always enabled
Client
iOS version:
12.2
ownCloud app version:
1.0.0 Build 113
Device model:
iPhone, iPad

Research direction
Start by tracing the iOS FileProvider Extension and the app's MDM configuration entry points. Confirm how an MDM-controlled option can prevent access to ownCloud.app files through Files.App and other apps; done means the extension is disabled when the option is enabled while normal access remains unchanged otherwise.
