Enable save button when exporting a file to app folder in Files app

Question

When I want to save a file to my App folder in iCloud, the save button is disabled, but it is enabled in other directories. Is there a way to enable it?

My code:

//...
let urls: [URL] = [fileURL]
documentPickerExporter = UIDocumentPickerViewController(forExporting: urls, asCopy: true)
documentPickerExporter.delegate = self
documentPickerExporter.allowsMultipleSelection = false
documentPickerExporter.modalPresentationStyle = .popover
    
present(documentPickerExporter, animated: true, completion: nil)

You don't need / use the document picker for this. Save the file directly into your Documents folder. If you are sharing your files, your Documents folder is the folder that iCloud Drive displays as your "folder in the cloud".

After clicking share file > save to Files > ... If I choose any directory, the save button is enabled, but it is not if I choose my app folder directory in iCloud. Note: My app folder in local directory allows me to save the file ( the save button is enabled there).

That doesn't affect what I just said. If you have turned on UIFileSharingEnabled and LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace, the Files app's display of your "folder in the cloud" is your Documents folder. If you haven't there is no option to interact with your "folder in the cloud" because there is no "folder in the cloud".

My goal is to allow users to save file freely inside app folder in iCloud , in any subdirectory.. so why the save button is disabled there?
