No.

You cannot directly access files of other apps. You can register your app to support specific files as explained here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/open-external-files-with-your-app.50525/

I don't want to open it in my app I want only to explorer all files then select file and store it in my app then i want to send it through email

I have source code to explorer file written by xcode and swift Can I use it in my app Or convert it to library

Where are the files stored? There is no public file storage in iOS (like File.DirRootExternal in Android).

There are no such folders in iOS. Each file belongs to a specific app and only that app can access it.

Yes, but it will not help you with accessing files of other apps.
