DocumentHandler

Open a document (e.g. PDF) with a corresponding native app.

Since Application.OpenURL(...path) is not working (anymore?) to open local files on iOS, I searched the internet for another solution (see credits). I found usable code and want to make it more accessible.

How to install

Just add the plugin via Package Manager with the git url:

https://github.com/Draudastic26/document-handler.git#upm

Usage

using drstc.DocumentHandler;
...
DocumentHandler.OpenDocument(somePath);

Notes

I just tested this on iOS with a PDF file. Please let me know if you tested this with other document types.
