File Provider UI extension on macOS


I'm asking this because the documentation is totally contradicting to itself on multiple occasions:

Problem is, after clicking the action, UI never appears and here's what i see in Console:

default pkd Waiting on thread <private> until Launch Services database seeding is complete.
default Finder  [d <private>] <PKHost:0x600000c38cc0> Beginning discovery for flags: 1024, point: (null)
default Finder  [d <private>] <PKHost:0x600000c38cc0> Completed discovery. Final # of matches: 0
error   Finder  nil extension for provider ID (<private>), error: (null)
error   Finder  Action with identifier (<private>) did finish with error (Error Domain=FPUIActionViewControllerErrorDomain Code=1000).
error   Finder  FP Custom action sheet finished with error Error Domain=FPUIActionViewControllerErrorDomain Code=1000 "(null)"
default pkd [d <private>] Final plugin count: 0

This is totally confusing, so if anyone has been able to use FileProviderUI on macOS - please share your success story.
