netrw on mobile device doesn’t doesn’t read files in iCloud Drive

[Eric Weir]

I am using the iVim port of Vim for iOS/iPadOS to create and edit files. When the working directory is a directory in iCloud Drive netrw will not read directories.

This puzzling since Apples own apps for its mobile devices have no difficulty reading directories in iCloud Drive. It also makes working in directories in iCloud Drive a bit cumbersome.

Help appreciated.

Thanks,
