Setup for DocumentPicker in bare Workflow (iOS)

Expo Development Tools
1

Hi folks,

When executing this code in an iOS simulator:

    const res = await DocumentPicker.getDocumentAsync({
      type: 'application/zip',
      multiple: false,
    })

I get the following message:

DocumentPicker requires the iCloud entitlement. If you are using ExpoKit, you need to add this capability to your App Id. See https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/expokit/advanced-expokit-topics#using-documentpicker for more info.

However, my app already has iCloud document capabilities:

Below is the entitlements file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

</dict>
</plist>

Have you got any clue of what I am missing?
I wonder if the issue comes from the fact my applications uses CloudKit. And by the way, those icloud-related functionalities are working perfectly.

Hey @jsamr, things look to be in order. Per your suspicions, have you tried disabling CloudKit temporarily and seeing if that resolves the error?

Cheers,

I can confirm you that disabling the CloudKit entitlement does resolve the issue. This should be treated as a bug though. I am using expo-document-picker@8.4.1. And the diff with aforementioned entitlement file:

EDIT: After a little bit more investigation, trying to reproduce from scratch, I can add that there must be a container set up for CloudKit with a scheme for the issue to appear.
