How to enable iTunes FileSharing on AIR for iOS Devices

I was searching the net to find a way to enable FileSharing with itunes on my AIR for IOS app.

After some research, this is the simple way it can be done:

  • Edit your application descriptor xml file
  • In the InfoAdditions section add the next two lines of code
  • Recompile you project and update the app via iTunes
  • After sync with iTunes, your app now can share files within the app Documents directory

<key>UIFileSharingEnabled</key>
<true/>

Enjoy!!

// create dropbox instance
var config:DropboxConfig = new DropboxConfig( "ConsumerKey","ConsumerSecret");
var dropAPI:DropboxClient = new DropboxClient(config);

// assign createAccount events
dropAPI.addEventListener(DropboxEvent.ACCOUNT_CREATE_RESULT, onCreationResult );
dropAPI.addEventListener(DropboxEvent.ACCOUNT_CREATE_FAULT, onCreationFault );

// call createAccount and pass ( email, password --&gt; min 8 chars, first name, last name )
dropAPI.createAccount('email@example.com','12345678','first_name','last_name');

// Event fired on success
public function onCreationResult( e:DropboxEvent ):void
{
trace( 'ACCOUNT_CREATE_RESULT '+e.resultObject.status );
}

// Event fired on error
public function onCreationFault( e:DropboxEvent ):void
{
trace( 'ACCOUNT_CREATE_FAULT '+(e.resultObject as AccountCreationError).toString() );
}

StageWebViewBridge. Updated. Automatic cache creation.

StageWebViewBridge class was upgraded with new features for managing files in the cache.

With the new system it is possible to forget if a cached file is updated, the system does everything for us and finally we get 2 output directories. These 2 directories are the directories we must include in our final package release.

The new methods and properties:

1
2
// sets Debug mode on/off
StageWebViewBridge.DEBUGMODE = true/false;
1

6
// sets the default dir to 'htmlFiles'
StageWebViewBridge.setRootFolder('htmlFiles');

// this will create 2 new dirs
app:/htmlFilesCache
app:/htmlFilesSource
1

// Change the extensions of the files to parse.
// Default extensions are ["html","htm","css","js"]

// now limit the files to be html or js, and left intact the css and htm files
StageWebViewBridge.setSourceFileExtensions(['html','js']);
