@erkanarslan that is somehow expected as the simulator path is different for each Mac user (see here). The method openFile is checking for that path that would be on a real device so that said it is a limitation of this implementation.

I wouldn't. say it is a bug as the method works on a real device but still marking this one as good-first-issue.
