menupicker.delegate = self
self.present(menupicker, animated: true, completion: nil)



func documentMenu(_ documentMenu: UIDocumentMenuViewController, didPickDocumentPicker documentPicker: UIDocumentPickerViewController) {
    documentPicker.delegate = self
    documentPicker.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = nil
    self.present(documentPicker, animated: true) {

I'm looking for the same solution, but can't. From my understanding, it is impossible. If you loop through the UIDocumentPickerViewController, it actually has a child view controller with type of "_UIResilientRemoteViewContainerViewController"

let picker = UIDocumentPickerViewController(documentTypes: supportDocTypes, in: .import)
picker.delegate = self
present(picker, animated: true) {
    print(picker.childViewControllers) // you will get something like this: [<_UIResilientRemoteViewContainerViewController: 0x102e956c0>]
}

which is not accessible, we could however access it by looping through it, and you will eventually get some other private components such as _RemoteView.
