No support for iTunes file sharing in Files app

Originator:macmade

Status:Closed Resolved:
Product:iOS Product Version:11.0 (beta 1)
Classification:Suggestion Reproducible:Yes
 
Area:
Something not on this list

----------

Summary:
The new Files app on iOS 11 has currently no support for iTunes file sharing (UIFileSharingEnabled).

At the moment, it only lists files on iCloud and shared containers.
It should also list the Documents folder of apps having UIFileSharingEnabled.

I think it would also be great to enable UIFileSharingEnabled on the Files app itself, so users can quickly upload files to the device using iTunes.

----------

Steps to Reproduce:
Install an app with iTunes file sharing enabled, like VLC, and upload some files to the device with iTunes.

----------

Expected Results:
The Files app should list the VLC app, and its files.

----------

Observed Results:
Apps with UIFileSharingEnabled are not listed in the Files app.

----------

Version:
iOS 11.9 (beta 1)

And I was not aware of the new UISupportsDocumentBrowser key... So everything's fine. Closing bug report.
