When capturing materialized information from materializedItemsDidChange in NSFileProviderReplicatedExtension, the isDownloaded property of NSFileProviderItem is not set during the call to enumerate items (NSFileProviderEnumerationObserver:enumerateItems(for:startingAt:)). Both the IsDownloaded and isMostRecentVersionDownloaded properties are returning false, even though the item is fully materialized How to capture this information from file provider extension ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How can I read a dataless file from within the same or another FileProvider extension? When I pass the visible URL to AVAsset from AVFoundation, it throws the following error: Error Domain=AVFoundationErrorDomain Code=-11800 "The operation could not be completed" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x15b01b1e0 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=11 "Resource deadlock avoided"}, NSLocalizedFailureReason=An unknown error occurred (11), AVErrorFailedDependenciesKey=( "assetProperty_Tracks" ), NSURL=file:///Users/<<username>>/Library/CloudStorage/<<file-path>>, NSLocalizedDescription=The operation could not be completed} The code snippet works fine if executed as a separate Swift process. I'm using AVAsset with AVAssetExportSession to export a subset of the file being read. So I can't use NSFileProviderManager.requestDownloadForItem(withIdentifier:, requestedRange:) because I don't know the offset range required by the AVFoundation library.

I am currently developing an app based on a file provider extension and intermittently encounter the error: No valid file provider found with identifier. Usually, I can mount (addDomain) successfully after building the app, but occasionally this error appears and then disappears after 10-15 minutes I see these errors from log stream: 2024-07-28 01:01:46.644401+0530 0x1abf0 Default 0x0 6654 0 fileproviderd: (FileProviderDaemon) [com.apple.FileProvider:default] [WARNING] No provider found with identifier (null) for calling bundle <private> on second attempt. 2024-07-28 01:01:47.099043+0530 0x1aac7 Error 0x0 6926 0 mdbulkimport: (FileProvider) [com.apple.FileProvider:default] [ERROR] Cannot query for providers.
