hello!
Since some days Excel and Word files don‘t open in nextcloud app on iOS anymore.
The files get downloaded and then nothing happens.
Before I could open same word and excel files with no problem.
I have nextcloud app 7.1.1 installed on iOS 18.6.1
PDF files open normally.
Can someone please help?
Thank you so much
Tom

### Steps to reproduce
1. Open Nextcloud iOS app (version 7.1.0).
2. Navigate to any Group Folder or Personal Folder.
3. Tap on a file (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, PDF, images).
4. File downloads, but does not open in the built-in viewer.
### Expected behaviour
After tapping a file, it should open directly in the built-in Nextcloud viewer (as it worked in previous versions).
### Actual behaviour
•File only downloads, but does not open.
•User needs to use “Open in…” to view file externally, which was not required before.
### Logs
```
If applicable, you can post the iOS app or server logs (removing any sensitive information).
```
### Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
### Environment data
• iOS version: 18.6.1
• Nextcloud iOS app version: 7.1.0
• Nextcloud server version: 29.0.16
• Device: iPhone 13 Pro
