Answer 1

It's very easy with latest version of swift to calculate size of file using byte counter formatter:

var fileSizeValue: UInt64 = 0

    do {

        let fileAttribute: [FileAttributeKey : Any] = try FileManager.default.attributesOfItem(atPath: url.path)

        if let fileNumberSize: NSNumber = fileAttribute[FileAttributeKey.size] as? NSNumber {
            fileSizeValue = UInt64(fileNumberSize)

            let byteCountFormatter: ByteCountFormatter = ByteCountFormatter()
            byteCountFormatter.countStyle = ByteCountFormatter.CountStyle.file

            byteCountFormatter.allowedUnits = ByteCountFormatter.Units.useBytes
            print(byteCountFormatter.string(fromByteCount: Int64(fileSizeValue)))

            byteCountFormatter.allowedUnits = ByteCountFormatter.Units.useKB
            print(byteCountFormatter.string(fromByteCount: Int64(fileSizeValue)))

            byteCountFormatter.allowedUnits = ByteCountFormatter.Units.useMB
            print(byteCountFormatter.string(fromByteCount: Int64(fileSizeValue)))

        }

    } catch {
        print(error.localizedDescription)
    }
