In my app I need to have access to the users desktop, and I would like to implement the standard dialogue for the user to give permission for this access at launch. I do not want to use the NSOpenPanel() for the user to select the desktop, as I dont think that is an elegant solution.
However I am having issues implementing this.
I use the following code to be granted access to the Desktop URL:
let accessGranted = desktopURL.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource()
However no dialogue box appears and the call returns false
I have also included "Desktop Usage Description" in my plist.
Here is my code
@State var message:String = "Good Luck!"
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("Get Desktop files") {
accessDesktopWithPermission()
}
Text(message)
}
.padding()
}
//: –—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–— ://
func accessDesktopWithPermission(){
guard let desktopURL = getDesktopURL() else{
return
}
let accessGranted = desktopURL.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource()
if accessGranted{
if let content = try? FileManager.default.contentsOfDirectory(at: desktopURL, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil ){
message = "Found \(content.count) on Desktop"
}
else{
message = "issue loading file from desktop"
}
}
else{
message = "Access denied to:\(desktopURL )"
}
}
obviously I have setup something incorrectly so I have also attached my code if anyone is interested to take a look.
