Hi Is there a way to check if a file at a specified URL is open and being edited by another application. Assuming that we have permission to access the file at the URL.

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.
