iCloud Document Picker: App folders are disabled on import

Question

I'm having a problem regarding app folders being disabled when I'm trying to import from iCloud, see the image below:

I checked google drive's iCloud import and it's not disabled like in the image below:

I need to get documents from other app's folder, what did I do wrong?

This is my current setup in my info.plist:

Code:

UIDocumentPickerViewController *documentPicker = [[UIDocumentPickerViewController alloc] initWithDocumentTypes:@[@"public.item"] 
                  inMode:UIDocumentPickerModeImport];

documentPicker.delegate = self;

documentPicker.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;

[self presentViewController:documentPicker animated:YES completion:nil];

You need to add the Utils in UIDocumentPickerViewController

UIDocumentPickerViewController *picker=[[UIDocumentPickerViewController alloc] 
      initWithDocumentTypes: @[(__bridge NSString *) kUTTypeContent,
                               (__bridge NSString *) kUTTypeData,
                               (__bridge NSString *) kUTTypePackage,
                               (__bridge NSString *) kUTTypeDiskImage,
                               @"com.apple.iwork.pages.pages",
                               @"com.apple.iwork.numbers.numbers",
                               @"com.apple.iwork.keynote.key"] inMode:UIDocumentPickerModeImport];

I can't import documents in iOS 9, do you have an idea what happened? – Bryan P Feb 11 '16 at 12:58

I found my problem, it seems that if you don't merge after signing in your iCloud account, documents will get stuck at loading in the iCloud document picker – Bryan P Feb 26 '16 at 08:13

Another question, there are some keynote items that can't be retrieved, the document picker delegate returns a url with a slash at the end some/path/to/file/keynote.key/ and url in this format can't be retrieved, some can be retrieved, some can't. Have you encountered this problem before? Dropbox can retrieve the same file that causes the problem listed above and can also upload it successfully in their server – Bryan P Apr 08 '16 at 17:05
