That’s not necessary on iOS AFAIK.  Widget-based dialogs are an option on 
desktop systems.  The priority is: native dialog if possible (and on iOS, if 
you are choosing a picture, we treat the photo picker as a native dialog); if 
not, then use a widget dialog if possible (and if it’s not a QApplication, it’s 
not possible); if not, then fall back to a plain QML implementation 
(DefaultFileDialog.qml).

(Disclaimer: I haven’t tested that on iOS for quite some time.  I hope it still 
works.  ;-)

The work of porting over to Controls 2 dialogs is not done yet.

Not sure about that… I guess I need to test it again.  I thought it was 
possible to set an Image.source property to that URL, for example, but we don’t 
have much file-reading support in QML otherwise.
