## Discussion

Discussion important: You can call this method from synchronous code using a completion handler, as shown on this page, or you can call it as an asynchronous method that has the following declaration: func service(named serviceName: NSFileProviderServiceName, for itemIdentifier: NSFileProviderItemIdentifier) async throws -> NSFileProviderService?
