So according to

https://developer.apple.com/reference/uikit/uidocument

It looks like the save function isn't actually for saving a document. My understanding from reading it is that save is only for creating a new document. I understand that you are using the .forOverwriting to just save over it but there may be something in iCloud that wont let the complete overwrite happen.

In your doSaveAndClose method try calling

self.saveFile?.close(completionHandler: self.didClose)

by itself. You may have to do some type of if query where you check if the file exist. If it doesn't then call the .save(), else call the .close function. It seems that no matter what when the document it closed it saves changes.
