I have not been able to fix the issue yet. The best I have come up with is to intercept the change using applicationDidChangeSCreenParameters:, and convert back to NSApplicationActivationPolicyRegular. This does cause the dock icon to reappear, but at least when the app is activated the menu bar is visible.

Obviously can't speak for @airbolt. but does not work for me with iOS 16.2 in simulator. From what I can tell in my experimenting, it seems that even when dragging from the Files app, iOS only drops the content of a file (eg .plainText in my use case), not the file itself???

Quinn -- thank you for the response! (And as an aside, after seeing your helpful replies countless times over the years, it's nice to get one myself!!!)
