React-native-fs: support for containerURLForSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier

[npomfret]

I'm trying to implement a shared area of the file system between my app and an app extension using an App Group. To access the path I need to read and write to a folder which I get access to by calling:

NSString *path= [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] containerURLForSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier:@"group.com.mygroupname"] path]

Which returns something like:

/Users/user/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/some-id/data/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/some-other-id

From what I can see in the docs there's no existing method for getting this data, is that correct?

Have you tried to call stat() or exists() on exactly this path then and can leave here the result?

I've submitted a PR (in react-native-fetch-blob) that adds a function to return this path which has been accepted to master. I'm using in my app and it's working fine.

@npomfret npomfret Could you please specify which method you've added to get the path ? Please specify some details ?

It was 2 years ago, I've forgotten exactly what I did.
