I had a script who copies a file from a folder of my iCloud Drive.

fil = '/private/var/mobile/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Numbers/Documents/Xxxx.numbers'
shutil.copy(fil,local_path)

I have updated my iPad to iOS to 11.4.1 and now I get an error during shutil.copy:

PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/private/var/mobile/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Numbers/Documents/Xxxx.numbers'

Using

    fil = dialogs.pick_document(types=['public.item'])

works but needs an user intervention to select the file...

To @omz is it possible to restrict to one file type by something like

    fil = dialogs.pick_document(types=['com.apple.numbers.numbers'])

Or even to only one file?

This restricts to .numbers files:

fil = dialogs.pick_document(types=['com.apple.iwork.numbers.numbers'])
