One of my users upgraded to the public 10.3 iOS beta and reported he could no longer open his documents (I have a subclass of UIManagedDocument so they are Core Data files stored in the package/directory format that UIManagedDocument uses). I didn’t notice any issues with my test device using the developer beta of 10.3. He changed the file names from Arabic to Roman and then he said he could open them.

I'm assuming the public beta upgraded to APFS (as I believe I read the developer betas upgraded to APFS). I'm trying to figure out if this an Apple bug (i.e., either APFS isn't handling his Arabic filenames correctly or perhaps something went wrong in the upgrade from HFS+ to APFS) or if perhaps it is a bug in my app (I doubt since all I'm doing is taking the NSString they enter and using it as the filename).
Is there anything else we could try to see which one of those it likely is? I'm going to ask him to create a new file and use an Arabic name and see if that works (i.e., was it just an issue with existing files in Arabic).
Thanks,
Dave Reed
