How to prevent files inside my app folder in Files app to open my application

Question

Both Application supports iTunes file sharing and Supports opening documents in place are set to YES on my Info.plist and I'm successfully able to download pdf files and store it on my app folder in Files application but the issue is when I'm trying to explore this PDF file it's directly open my app .. is there any way to avoid this and open normal preview ?

Here is how I'm creating the file :

FileManager.default.createFile(atPath: filePath, contents: pdfData, attributes: nil)

don't use the Files use document directory to save the file – Awais Mobeen Jan 14 '20 at 10:35 — Awais Mobeen, Jan 14 '20 at 10:35

Don't use the Files app use document directory instead of Files, If you are using files app then the files in your application folder will be visible to all those apps that are using Files app.

It's OK if my files are visible to other apps. – Mohammed Gomaa Jan 14 '20 at 10:43
