All FIles Non-Selectable

[Rcuz8]

Bug report

Summary

No files are available to be selected on the iOS Simulator (15.2). The app also never requests access to Files Settings > Privacy > Files & Folders when the picker is loaded, which seems curious.

Reproducible sample code

Steps to reproduce

const file = await DocumentPicker.pickMultiple({
  type: DocumentPicker.types.allFiles
});

You will see the files, but none will be available to select.

Describe what you expected to happen:

All files should be available to be selected.

We solved the problem using another emulator.

We solved the problem using another emulator.

Another Xcode/iOS emulator ?

[EmreGurbuzz]

we were doing the normal trials with the iPhone 13. After having problems we tried another emulator and it worked. The emulator we are running is iPhone 12 pro. We haven't tried any other emulators. The laptop I'm using is a MacBook with an m1 processor. When we tried the same project files on another m1 MacBook, it was working fine again. we didn't specifically try a separate emulator on the other device. maybe the problem was with the emulator device on my device which is the iPhone 13.

Having same issue on iOS Simulator (15.2). Related to #498

Similar issue on Android 9 device (not emulator). I can not pull up some specific file types (.pfx in this case). Is this wanted behavior? If yes, then how do I get these type of files?

"react-native-document-picker": "^6.1.1"

Same issue on simulator iPhone 12 Pro with iOS 15. Changed to simulator iPhone 11 Pro with iOS 13.7 and it's working

[Rcuz8]

On same software version iOS 13.0 (iPhone 11), files are not greyed out but still are not selectable.
