Security-scoped URL cannot be resolved if the app that provided the file is deleted from the device
My app supports the iOS 8 document picker (UIDocumentMenuViewController) in open mode (UIDocumentPickerModeOpen). If the user opens a file using the document picker, the app saves a security-scoped bookmark in order to show it in a list of recently opened files.
If the user then deletes the app that provided the file, the security-scoped bookmark cannot be resolved anymore. Instead, the method +[NSURL URLByResolvingBookmarkData:options:relativeToURL:bookmarkDataIsStale:error:] never returns.
