I have been trying to use this command, initially to allow an iOS app to put
something in the “Files” folder on an iPhone, but I’m now more interested in
the whole idea of Activity Views and how to exploit them in an iOS app. I

Using iCloud shouldn’t require internet access for the app as it is designed to
work offline and sync when the network is available. My comment was aimed at
the need to have data retained separately from the app.

Believe it or not, there is a class of apps that doesn’t need to use the
internet. I’m thinking for example of apps meant to be used on a device such as
a phone while it’s in motion or on a journey. Internet access isn’t guaranteed
in many parts of the world. Although smart phones do have to mak
Apple has already provided a way forward for this. Their current best practice
is for apps to store files in their Documents folder in iCloud. This provides
seamless access between multiple devices and data security since it is not tied
to the app remaining installed.

Think and say anything you want!
A lot of people value accessing their files. Someone will eventually
make a device that allows you to save your files properly and you
will see a lot of people switch platforms.
If you have any evidence suggesting people do not care about
their files please prov

Hi Graham,
You can write to your own app’s preference’s folder.
Due to sandboxing Apple doesn’t want you writing
stuff elsewhere. You can sometimes write to special
folders, I don’t know the list off of the top of my head
however.
Keep us informed of your progress.

In that case, you'll probably be surprised to find out that URLs *are*

Mobile is case-sensitive, desktop isn't. The "documents" folder should be
all lower case.
If that's not the problem then show us the lines of script that both create
the file path and retrieve it.

Anyone know how to read and write files in an iOS application running on an
iPad 2?
Also, does anyone know how to print from within the iOS application?
Any hints would be appreciated. My routines work in the simulator for reading
and writing files, but don't work on the iPad 2.
