The problem is that the iCloud Drive directory of my app does not appear in my iCloud Drive in Finder despite the (I think) correct settings in my info.plist file (see below).
In Terminal, I can see the folder and it also contains .txt files.
What can I do to make the folder visible in Finder and the Files app?
<key>NSUbiquitousContainers</key> <dict> <key>iCloud.vmk.NewsSwiper</key> <dict> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerIsDocumentScopePublic</key> <true/> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerName</key> <string>RSS-Filter</string> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerIdentifier</key> <string>iCloud.vmk.NewsSwiper</string> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerSupportedFolderLevels</key> <string>Any</string> </dict> </dict>

I'm a small, independent developer, and like many of you, I sometimes build apps primarily for my own use. One major pain point I've run into repeatedly is the expiration of Apple's development certificates. This renders my personal apps – like my essential notes and to-do app – unusable. It's incredibly disruptive, especially when I'm away from my Mac and can't immediately renew the certificate.
Has anyone else faced this frustration? I feel that for personal apps installed directly on our own devices, having indefinite certificates would be a massive improvement. It would streamline the experience for small developers like myself and remove an unnecessary roadblock to using our own creations.
I'm curious:
Are there workarounds I might not be aware of?
Would others support the idea of non-expiring certificates for personal apps on our own devices?
Let's discuss this and see if we can collectively find a better solution or advocate for change!
Let me know what you think!
