File selection on iPadOS / iPhoneOS ? (AppStore install) #40

Description

file management in iPadOS / iPhoneOS is primarily managed via the Files App, however CarveraController (MakeraContoller app from appstore) uses the os-level filesystem, which is pretty much useless for this purpose.

if i "airdrop" or "download" a file to e.g. the ipad, it is stored in -for example- the Downloads folder in the files app, and visible there. but i have not found any way to actually navigate to that location in the controller app. similarly, i have not found a way to save the file into the gcodes folder inside the app package (which seems to be the default when opening the controller app). i am not even sure it is at all possible to save into that folder at all.

ideally "MakeraController" would be a destination of the "Share" operation in the files app so a file could be transfered to the device and then "handed over" to the controller app that way. the app could then store the file in a location it can easily access, so the file can then easily be uploaded to the carvera air.
