To access file sharing though the app?

Unity Engine
,

When you connect your device to iTunes, you can access to the File Sharing section and to drop file for specific app…

Does Unity handle the file sharing feature?

Thanks you ^_^!!

Bump!!

Really no idea how to import data from the iphone or to save on it?

No, unity has no support for it.
As for 'how to import data to and from iphone: considered to use a webservice where people can add and remove that get synced? thats more approachable than trying to explain them where apple moved the itunes feature again and it easily works for more than one device too as you have to support all their devices.

you can enable itunes file sharing with a quick and easy entry to the info.plist in xcode, it doesnt have anything to do with unity , google enable itunes file sharing , there will be a quick tutorial over there.

once enabled the documents folder of your app container will be shown on itunes but you only be able to add individal files not folders and only to the documents folder not subfolders , but thats easy to process after in the application

hope this helps

Well yes, it seems easy…

What I success so far are :

  • to list the content of the …/Data/ folder
  • to drop files into my app.

Current problem is I do no see those files when listing the Data folder.
I have some files with the following form : sharedassed[int].asset
But nothing looking like my files O_o…

Is there a sub folder in the Data folder I should give a look to find data into the “file Sharing” section ???

Still testing…

If you figure out the correct way to do this, please let us know.

One of my projects would benefit from iTunes file sharing.

Found it!! yeah!!!

Spent the evening to write my folder + files browser to find shared files on the device!

You should do the same, that is open door to many things!!

Well didn’t try to read and write file yet…

But that is crazy, I can access to my photos, videos, provisions file, etc… from my app O_O!!

Really dunno if app review process allows this kind of content :smile: XD
It means I could get datas from the user sending it though an URL hahahaha.

WTF…
