iTunes File Sharing should respect NSFileCoordination/NSFilePresentation

Status:Duplicate/10247965 Resolved:
Product:iPhone SDK Product Version:5.1.1
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
At the moment it's not possible to detect when a file copied to an app through iTunes is completely transferred rather than partially. To achieve this, please make the AFC daemon coordinate its writes using the presentation/coordination API.

Steps to Reproduce:
Set up an NSFilePresenter on an app's local documents directory.
Write to that directory in code through an NSFileCoordinator. The file presenter is notified accordingly.
Write to that directory through iTunes File Sharing. The file presenter is not notified.

Expected Results:
The file presenter should be notified.

Actual Results:
The file presenter is not notified.

Regression:
No.

Notes:
P.S. When are we going to get a product category called "iOS" rather than separate ones for "iPhone" and "iPad"?!

Current workaround

We are using continuous scan and compare Documents directory to detect the changes made by iTunes File Sharing. Is there a better workaround?
