iOS: Is app group container shareable somehow? Alternatives?

MacOSX and iOS
1

Hi Everybody,
I want my standalone and plugin on ios to have accessible preset folders via file sharing
I can use
File::getContainerForSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier ( myAppGroupID ));
to get 2-way communication going between AUv3 and standalone: this ofcourse is nice.
But when I check “File Sharing Enabled” in Projucer, this doesn’t share the group container.
so I’m stuck between 2 situations:
a) without appgroup container: Only my standalone can be reached via filesharing.
b) with appgroup container: Only my standalone can be reached via filesharing, but there is also a hidden container for communciation between auv3 and standalone.

Now this is rather useless: all I want is my users being able to browse both document folders of the auv3 and standalone OR the shared group container.

Is this all a ploy from apple to push icloud as a sync service?
I hope I’m just overlooking something here, so please tell me where I missed something, I’d be very grateful!

In this case (and to the best of my knowledge) you do have to handle synchronization of these two locations yourself, I’m afraid.
