I want to import ('open in' menu) a .zip file to an iOS app. I have the .zip Document Type - where do I go from there?

I have a Swift 5 iOS project. If you get emailed a .zip attachment and open it with your iPhone mail app you can use the OpenIn icon and see my app as I have added the com.pkware.zip-archive Document Type.

I have ZIPFoundation installed with Carthage to unzip the file.

But how to I 'get' the file or a reference to a URL or Object. I guess so code in appdelegate is watching for it some how - but I don't even know how to refer to this process to google it.

Any thoughts? Many thanks

Found a tutorial at https://www.raywenderlich.com/5244-document-based-apps-tutorial-getting-started

which included what I need (I think):

func application(_ app: UIApplication, open inputURL: URL, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {

// 1 guard inputURL.isFileURL else { return false }

// 2 guard let rootController = window?.rootViewController as? RootViewController else { return false }

// 3 rootController.openRemoteDocument(inputURL, importIfNeeded: true) //my version of this goes here. return true }
