UIDocumentPickerViewController example in Swift 5. Bug fixed version of this article: https://medium.com/flawless-app-stories/a-swifty-way-to-pick-documents-59cad1988a8a

DocumentPicker.swift

//
//  DocumentPicker.swift

import UIKit
import MobileCoreServices

protocol DocumentDelegate: class {
    func didPickDocument(document: Document?)
}

class Document: UIDocument {
    var data: Data?
    override func contents(forType typeName: String) throws -> Any {
        guard let data = data else { return Data() }
        return try NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject:data,
                                                requiringSecureCoding: true)
    }
    override func load(fromContents contents: Any, ofType typeName:
        String?) throws {
        guard let data = contents as? Data else { return }
        self.data = data
    }
}

open class DocumentPicker: NSObject {
    private var pickerController: UIDocumentPickerViewController?
    private weak var presentationController: UIViewController?
    private weak var delegate: DocumentDelegate?

    private var pickedDocument: Document?

    init(presentationController: UIViewController, delegate: DocumentDelegate) {
        super.init()
        self.presentationController = presentationController
        self.delegate = delegate
    }

    public func displayPicker() {
        
        /// pick movies and images
        self.pickerController = UIDocumentPickerViewController(documentTypes: [kUTTypeMovie as String, kUTTypeImage as String], in: .import)
        self.pickerController!.delegate = self
        self.presentationController?.present(self.pickerController!, animated: true)
    }
}

extension DocumentPicker: UIDocumentPickerDelegate {

    /// delegate method, when the user selects a file
    public func documentPicker(_ controller: UIDocumentPickerViewController, didPickDocumentsAt urls: [URL]) {
        guard let url = urls.first else {
            return
        }
        documentFromURL(pickedURL: url)
        delegate?.didPickDocument(document: pickedDocument)
    }

    /// delegate method, when the user cancels
    public func documentPickerWasCancelled(_ controller: UIDocumentPickerViewController) {
        delegate?.didPickDocument(document: nil)
    }

    private func documentFromURL(pickedURL: URL) {
        
        /// start accessing the resource
        let shouldStopAccessing = pickedURL.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource()

        defer {
            if shouldStopAccessing {
                pickedURL.stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource()
            }
        }
        NSFileCoordinator().coordinate(readingItemAt: pickedURL, error: NSErrorPointer.none) { (readURL) in
            let document = Document(fileURL: readURL)
            pickedDocument = document
        }
    }
}

Usage.swift

//
//  ViewController.swift
class ViewController: UIViewController, DocumentDelegate {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        /// set up the document picker
        documentPicker = DocumentPicker(presentationController: self, delegate: self)
    }
    
    /// callback from the document picker
    func didPickDocument(document: Document?) {
        if let pickedDoc = document {
            let fileURL = pickedDoc.fileURL
            
            /// do what you want with the file URL
        }
    }
}

Thanks for sharing. However data in Document always returns nil. Can you share a fix for that?

Hmm...

This works for me:

func didPickDocument(document: Document?) {
    if let pickedDoc = document {
        let fileURL = pickedDoc.fileURL
        let data = try Data(contentsOf: fileURL)
    }
}

      import MobileCoreServices

   class ViewController: UIViewController, DocumentDelegate {
       override func viewDidLoad() {
         super.viewDidLoad()
    }

     @IBAction func actionButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
        let documentPicker = DocumentPicker(presentationController: self, delegate: self)
       documentPicker.displayPicker()
     }
  
/// callback from the document picker
func didPickDocument(document: Document?) {
    if let pickedDoc = document {
        let fileURL = pickedDoc.fileURL
        /// do what you want with the file URL
        print(fileURL)
        let data = try Data(contentsOf: fileURL)
    }
   }
  }
