Dropbox Smart Sync is a mode in which Dropbox does not copy files to local machine by default and only store a kind of placeholder with metadata instead. When user accesses the file then Dropbox downloads the file content from internet to make it available locally. This seems like a virtual file system or something similar. Does anybody know which exact technology Dropbox uses for Smart Sync on Mac and other platforms?
My application will be storing data on Onedrive. I will be recommending the user to unlinking sync of his onedrive from his machine. Is it possible for excluding Onedrive from syncing my application folder ? Will using onedrive.AppFolder help in any way ?
Due to some unique quality and regulatory requirements in our organisation, we need to be able to download a .ipa build from App Store Connect, in order to be able to compare it against a locally built binary. I appreciate this is an unusual requirement, but it is non-negotiable.
Clearly there is no way to do this via the App Store Connect web interface, so I've been looking at the App Store Connect API. However it is ambiguous from the documentation, whether it is possible to use this to download an .ipa build.
Does anyone know if this is possible, and how one might go about doing it if so please?
Apple does not provide any way of retrieving an upload app/IPA. It's neither possible through App Store Connect nor the App Store Connect API.
You can only check entitlements and additional build information in the App Store Connect interface. For that go to App Store Connect > My Apps > Activity > All Builds > Click on the build
(Fastlane does also not provide any way, because Apple does not expose the data. It uses the "web API", i.e. has access to more information than the "standard" App Store Connect API)
We can download IPA file with the help of Apple Configurator. Follow below steps to download IPA file.
Download Apple Configurator 2 app on your MAC.
Connect your iPhone with MAC and Apple ID should be same in apple Configurator and iPhone.
New window will display with app count badge in All Devices Tab.
Right click on your connected device in Apple Configurator and select Add and then Apps.
Process will complete and Popup will show with options, no need to click any option and go to this path
~/Library/Group Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator/Library/Caches/Assets/TemporaryItems/MobileApps/
Save IPA file in your directory
-Now stop Apple Configurator
EDIT: I know this question is aimed at Downloading Appstore/Testflight builds, specifically, but wanted to provide this answer for others who find your question while looking for it from anywhere.
You can download iOS .ipa from Firebase distribution, as well as for Android .apks. But you do need to have the right permissions.
I just did it 5 minutes ago. See ☝️?
Go into App Distribution > find your app scheme/variant > expand build number > see if you have a Download button. If you don't, your company needs to bump your permissions up a bit higher.
Keep in mind that firebase apps can experience limitations when interacting with Apple SDK features, though, like SIWA. You'd need to use Testflight to test things like that if they don't work for you (we have decent devs and never could get it working on Firebase builds).
If the file gets deleted before you can copy it, you can use this command:
watch -n 0.1 find "~/Library/Group\ Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator" -iname "*.ipa" -exec 'cp -r {} ~/Downloads \;'
When it's downloaded it will copy it to the Downloads folder. You're welcome.

I am looking to use webRTC for my college project. The example(http://simpl.info/getusermedia/) works nice (asks the permission to access the webcamera) whenever i access them from internet but after i download the source(even from github) it does not work, it does not even ask the permission for accessing the camera. any help? Thanks.
The WebRTC API does not work unless it is being hosted. Simply opening the html files and running the scripts will not work.
So, I bet if you host it(Apache, VisualStudio, etc), it will work just fine.
I am developing an application which needs to fetch some data from an XML file for the automatic update process and for some other functions. This approach requires the files to be located in a direct link, so it can be hard-programmed to use that specific URL.
I heard that you can use a lot of free-to-use file-sharing services such as Google Drive, Box and Dropbox. Can you tell me if it's true or not? And are there any other services beside those I mentioned?
I don't need a web hosting that supports PHP and other frameworks, I just want to store files and make my application access it when required.
Yes, both Dropbox and Google Drive provide web hosting of your public folders, but there is a 10GB bandwidth limit with Dropbox.
You can use any free web hosting like 110mb or 5gbfree too.
You can try github, bitbucket or mega.co.nz
