How to download files from icloud drive? (self.swift)

Hi! I'm new to Swift and macOS development. I'm currently writing an app for me that allows me to backup my files and photos from icloud to NAS.

Getting the photos was easy, but I'm not sure how to get files stored in icloud drive. Do I need an Apple Developer account for the right permissions? If so, why can I download photos without it?

Yes unfortunately iCloud/CloudKit is considered an “advanced” capability. capabilities for account type

PhotoKit is separate and not considered an advanced capability.
