I'm getting this issue too. Your edit was very helpful for me. Actually, the file app is in "./data/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/(File App?)/File Provider Storage/". Just make some uniq folder on File app, and search with find . -type d -name "(folder name you created)". Add some file in this directory will adds that file in the simulator too.
