Document Picker View Controller issue in Swift - ios

Question

I have a button in my view controller, when click a button it open a document picker view controller, i have set type like KUTypePDF and KUTypeZipArchive , when i select any of these item from google drive the picker controller gets dismiss and in console it shows a long un finished strings of number that doesn't stop. I'm confused why it is showing that long string. What i want is that after i select any file from google drive it should be shown in my app. I'm getting the file url right. My code is this,
#IBAction func docsBtnTapped(_ sender: Any) {
let importMenu = UIDocumentMenuViewController(documentTypes: [String(kUTTypePDF),String(kUTTypeZipArchive)], in: .import)
importMenu.delegate = self
importMenu.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
self.present(importMenu, animated: true, completion: nil)}
func documentPicker(_ controller: UIDocumentPickerViewController, didPickDocumentAt url: URL) {
let cico = url as URL
print("The Url is : /(cico)", cico)
do {
let weatherData = try NSData(contentsOf: cico, options: NSData.ReadingOptions())
print(weatherData)
let activityItems = [weatherData]
let activityController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: activityItems, applicationActivities: nil)
if UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == .phone {
self.present (activityController, animated: true, completion: {
print("Hello")
})
}
else {
let popup = UIPopoverController(contentViewController: activityController)
popup.present(from: CGRect(x: CGFloat(self.view.frame.size.width / 2), y: CGFloat(self.view.frame.size.height / 4), width: CGFloat(0), height: CGFloat(0)), in: self.view, permittedArrowDirections: .any, animated: true)
}
} catch {
print(error)
}
//optional, case PDF -> render
//displayPDFweb.loadRequest(NSURLRequest(url: cico) as URLRequest)
}
func documentMenu(_ documentMenu: UIDocumentMenuViewController, didPickDocumentPicker documentPicker: UIDocumentPickerViewController) {
documentPicker.delegate = self
present(documentPicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func documentPickerWasCancelled(_ controller: UIDocumentPickerViewController) {
print(" cancelled by user")
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
This long string come in console when i select any item of PDF or Zip file,

You can use UIDocumentInteractionController to open any kind preview from url:
Here is Simple code to open url:
var documentController:UIDocumentInteractionController!
#IBAction func btnOpenClicked(_ sender: Any) {
if let fileURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "icon", withExtension: "jpg") {
// Instantiate the interaction controller
self.documentController = UIDocumentInteractionController.init(url: fileURL)
self.documentController.delegate = self
self.documentController.presentPreview(animated: true)
}
else {
print("File missing! Button has been disabled")
}
}
func documentInteractionControllerViewControllerForPreview(_ controller: UIDocumentInteractionController) -> UIViewController {
return self
}
