I faced above issue in Native android & solved that as follows in Java, below is the converted code for the same in c#

As i said,

string[] allowedTypes = { "application/pdf" };

FileData fileData = await CrossFilePicker.Current.PickFile(allowedTypes);

is working fine for me & as you said everything was grayed out, thats cuz your extension file isnt present in your device folder.

You can refer the image above, everything will be grayed out except the format extension you mention in allowedTypes i.e pdf

Most probably you haven't configured your iCloud Driver (CloudKit). As it states in the project's documentation:
