Stuck Uploading (Google Drive Objective-C API on OS X) - objective-c

I am trying to upload simple .txt file as a test. It's only 4kb. Here is my code:
-(IBAction)uploadFile:(id)sender{
if (![self.credentials canAuthorize]) {
GTMOAuth2WindowController *windowController;
windowController = [[[GTMOAuth2WindowController alloc] initWithScope:scope clientID:kClientID clientSecret:kClientSecret keychainItemName:kKeychainItemName resourceBundle:nil] autorelease];
[windowController signInSheetModalForWindow:self.window
delegate:self
finishedSelector:#selector(windowController:finishedWithAuth:error:)];
}else{
NSLog(#"Credentials already authorized.");
}
GTLDriveFile *driveFile = [GTLDriveFile object];
driveFile.title = #"myfile";
driveFile.descriptionProperty = #"Uploaded by Google Drive API test.";
driveFile.mimeType = #"text/plain";
NSData *data = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsAtPath:#"/Users/Blake/Downloads/glm/util/autoexp.txt"];
GTLUploadParameters *params = [GTLUploadParameters uploadParametersWithData:data MIMEType:driveFile.mimeType];
GTLQueryDrive *query = [GTLQueryDrive queryForFilesInsertWithObject:driveFile uploadParameters:params];
NSLog(#"Starting Upload to Google Drive");
[self.progressBar setHidden:FALSE];
[self.progressBar startAnimation:sender];
[self.driveService executeQuery:query completionHandler:^(GTLServiceTicket *st, GTLDriveFile *df, NSError *error){
[self.progressBar setHidden:TRUE];
if (error == nil) {
NSLog(#"File upload succeeded");
}else{
NSLog(#"Uh-oh: File upload failed");
}
}];
}
The GTMOAuth2Authentication is authorized and the completion handler block never executes.
I looked at Activity Monitor and it says my application has sent 54 packets in the beginning. So I guess something is being sent.
How can I tell what's going wrong here, if the block never finishes to give me an error?
Could someone please help me understand what I am doing wrong?

I've recently got problem with sticking on GTMOAuth2WindowController. It was unable to present self window. I spent a lot of time in debugger and found that I forget to add WebKit.framework. It was not documented explicitly and there were no any messages in runtime (minus in google dev karma)))). So, maybe your problem also in that? Try to check your frameworks set and compare it with examples shipped with GTL.

Error: Upload file to google drive using objective-c

Now I'm trying to upload file to Google Drive.
Code was built successfully, but my file didn't upload to Google Drive.
Here is my code.
-(void)uploadFileToGoogleDrive : (NSString*)fileName fileFullPath:(NSString*)filePath {
GTLDriveFile *driveFile = [GTLDriveFile object];
driveFile.mimeType = #"application/pdf";
driveFile.originalFilename = filePath;
driveFile.name = fileName;
NSString *parentId = #"root";
driveFile.parents = #[parentId];
NSData *fileContent = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:fileName];
GTLUploadParameters *uploadParameters = [GTLUploadParameters uploadParametersWithData:fileContent MIMEType:#"application/pdf"];
GTLQueryDrive *query = [GTLQueryDrive queryForFilesCreateWithObject:driveFile uploadParameters:uploadParameters];
[self.service executeQuery:query
completionHandler:^(GTLServiceTicket *ticket,
GTLDriveFile *updatedFile,
NSError *error) {
if (error == nil) {
NSLog(#"\nfile uploaded into google drive");
} else {
NSLog(#"\nAn error occurred: %#", error);
}
}];
}
Error message is like this:
Error Domain=com.google.HTTPStatus Code=501 "(null)"
Please help me.
Based from this blog, error 501 occurs more likely if the client is not a Web browser - particularly if the Web server is old. In either case if the client has specified a valid request type, then the Web server is either responding incorrectly or simply needs to be upgraded.
As stated in this answer, make sure that you have permission to make changes in these two actions:
NSFileHandle *fileHandle = [NSFileHandle fileHandleForReadingAtPath:self.fromPath];
GTLUploadParameters *uploadParameters = [GTLUploadParameters uploadParametersWithFileHandle:fileHandle MIMEType:mimeType];
GTLQueryDrive *uploadFileQuery = [GTLQueryDrive queryForFilesCreateWithObject:toFile
uploadParameters:uploadParameters];

Taking information from a method ALAssetsLibrary

I have this code, who get the asset url from my image:
NSUrl *caminhoImagem;
ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
// Request to save the image to camera roll
[library writeImageToSavedPhotosAlbum:[imagem CGImage] orientation:(ALAssetOrientation)[imagem imageOrientation] completionBlock:^(NSURL *assetURL, NSError *error){
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Erro na criacao de imagem");
} else {
NSLog(#"Caminho da Imagem -> %#", assetURL);
caminhoImagem = assetURL;
}
}];
NSLog(#"%#",caminhoImagem);
What is happening is that the NSLog(#"%#",caminhoImagem); returns me ('null'), unless it is inserted within that method (more specifically within that Else), what I can not understand is that I made a reference using this command:
caminhoImagem = AssetUrl;
And it seems that is not saved the information, I suspect from the 'completionBlock' which in my opinion seems to be blocking something, how can I fix this, and take the information that method?
The block is executed asynchronously, so you need to call some method from inside the block to use the asset URL. You log which prints null is run before the block completes so it doesn't have access to the asset URL at that time.

ConnectionKit and SFTP: How to authenticate CK2FileManager

For my Mac OS X Cocoa app, I am trying to
connect to a SFTP server that only accepts username/password credentials
get the contents of a remote directory
upload files
and find it surprisingly complicated.
After trying ConnectionKit (nearly no documentation), NMSSH (crashed once too often with simultaneous uploads), rsync (not supported by the server), sftp (needs key authentication if scripted, doesn't work with username/password), I am now back to ConnectionKit: https://github.com/karelia/ConnectionKit
However, I am struggling with the authentication challenge, as I don’t know what to do with my credential in the delegate method.
I downloaded and compiled ConnectionKit (apparently version 2).
I am trying to use CK2FileManager as the Readme indicates (is this the right approach at all? Or should I use the libssh2_sftp-Cocoa-wrapper instead?… however I had troubles with libssh2 blocking methods in NMSSH before)
I am successfully setting up my connection URL and
my delegates' -didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge is called
But this is where I struggle: I know how to create a NSURLCredential, however, I can’t figure out what to do with it =>
- (void)fileManager:(CK2FileManager *)manager
didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge
{
NSURLCredential *credentials = [NSURLCredential
credentialWithUser:self.username
password:[self getPassword]
persistence:NSURLCredentialPersistenceForSession];
// what to do now?
// [manager useCredential:] doesn’t exist, nor is there a manager.connection?
// ...
}
I already read the header, I searched the archives of this list, but all answers seem to be outdated.
I also searched Google, Bing and StackOverflow and found one promising example from 2011 using CKFTPConnection, which doesn’t seem to be included in the current framework anymore.
Thanks so much for any pointer to the right direction.
tl;dr
I don't know how to respond to ConnectionKit's CK2FileManager authenticationChallenge:
see the comment in the code example
For CK2:
- (void)listDirectoryAtPath:(NSString *)path
{
// path is here #"download"
NSURL *ftpServer = [NSURL URLWithString:#"sftp://companyname.topLevelDomain"];
NSURL *directory = [CK2FileManager URLWithPath:path isDirectory:YES hostURL:ftpServer];
CK2FileManager *fileManager = [[CK2FileManager alloc] init];
fileManager.delegate = self;
[fileManager contentsOfDirectoryAtURL:directory
includingPropertiesForKeys:nil
options:NSDirectoryEnumerationSkipsHiddenFiles
completionHandler:^(NSArray *contents, NSError *error) {
if (!error) {
NSLog(#"%#", contents);
} else {
NSLog(#"ERROR: %#", error.localizedDescription);
}
}];
}
and than you have to implement the following protocol
- (void)fileManager:(CK2FileManager *)manager operation:(CK2FileOperation *)operation
didReceiveChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge
completionHandler:(void (^)(CK2AuthChallengeDisposition disposition, NSURLCredential *credential))completionHandler
{
if (![challenge.protectionSpace.authenticationMethod isEqualToString:NSURLAuthenticationMethodDefault]) {
completionHandler(CK2AuthChallengePerformDefaultHandling, nil);
return;
}
NSString * username = #"<username>";
NSString * pathToPrivateSSHKey = #"</Users/myNameOnLocalMaschine/.ssh/id_rsa>"
NSURLCredential *cred = [NSURLCredential ck2_credentialWithUser:username
publicKeyURL:nil
privateKeyURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:pathToPrivateSSHKey]
password:nil
persistence:NSURLCredentialPersistenceForSession];
completionHandler(CK2AuthChallengeUseCredential, cred);
}
That's it.
Call -listDirectoryAtPath: and then you will get in the Completion Handler Block in contents array all the files located on the given path :)
Okay, that was easy and I could have found out that on my own; just for the reference: [[challenge sender] useCredential:credentials forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
Sorry to reward myself for my own question, but maybe this code snippet helps filling the missing docs, this is how I connect to my SFTP server with ConnectionKit:
- (void)connectWithCompletionBlock:(void (^)(void))completionBlock {
if(!self.cFileManager) {
self.cFileManager = [[CK2FileManager alloc] init];
self.cFileManager.delegate = self;
}
NSURL *sftpServer = [NSURL URLWithString:[#"sftp://" stringByAppendingString:self.server]];
self.remoteFolder = [CK2FileManager URLWithPath:self.remotePath relativeToURL:sftpServer];
// try to get the contents of the current directory
[self.cFileManager contentsOfDirectoryAtURL:self.remoteFolder
includingPropertiesForKeys:nil
options:NSDirectoryEnumerationSkipsHiddenFiles
completionHandler:^(NSArray *contents, NSError *error)
{
NSLog(#"remote folder contents: \n%#", contents);
// invoke completion block
completionBlock();
}];
}
- (void)fileManager:(CK2FileManager *)manager
didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge
{
NSURLCredential *credentials = [NSURLCredential
credentialWithUser:self.username
password:[self getPassword]
persistence:NSURLCredentialPersistenceForSession];
[[challenge sender] useCredential:credentials forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge]
}

Can create, but not open, a UIManagedDocument with iCloud support

I am creating a new UIManagedDocument with iCloud support as follows:
Alloc and init with local sandbox URL
Set persistent store options to support iCloud: ubiquitousContentNameKey and ubiquitousContentURL. The name I'm generating uniquely and the URL is pointing to my ubiquityContainer / CoreData.
Save locally to sandbox with UIManagedDocument's saveToURL method.
In completion handler, move to iCloud with FileManager's setUbiquitous method.
So far, this dance works. (Well, sort of). After I call setUbiquitous, I get an error that says it WASN'T successful, however the document moves to the cloud. When it's done, I have a new document in the cloud. This appears to be a bug, as I've been able to replicate it with others' code.
I'm actually generating this document in a "Documents View Controller," which lists all of the documents in the cloud. So when this new document's final completion handler is finished, it shows up in the table view thanks to an NSMetadataQuery. So far, pretty standard usage I think.
To edit a document, the user taps and goes to a "Single View Document View Controller."
In this view controller, I need to "reopen" the selected document so the user can edit it.
So I go through series of steps again:
Alloc / init a UIManagedDocument with a fileURL -- this time, the URL is from the cloud.
Set my persistent store options, same as step 2 above, with same settings.
Now, I ATTEMPT step 3, which is to open the document from disk, but it fails. The document is in a state of "Closed | SavingError" and the attempt to open fails.
Does anyone know why my document would create OK, move to the cloud OK, but then fail to open on an immediate subsequent attempt? (Really, an attempt within that launch of the app - see below). Specifically, what would make a UIManagedDocument instance be created but in a closed, non-openable state?
Interestingly enough, if I quit the app and launch again, I can tap and reload the document and edit it.
And very occasionally I can create, then open, and edit very briefly, say insert one managedobject, and then it goes into this close | saving error state.
ERROR INFO:
I've subclassed UIManagedDocument and overrode the -handleError: method to try and get more information, and here's what I get (along with some other debugging logs I put in):

The error seems to think I'm it create a store that already exists on the subsequent opening. Am I now supposed to set those iCloud option on the persistent store on a second opening? I've tried that approach and it didn't work either.
I've studied the Stanford lectures on UIManagedDocument and don't see what I'm doing wrong.
Here's my method to create the doc and move to cloud:
- (void) testCreatingICloudDocWithName:(NSString*)name
{
NSURL* cloudURL = [self.docManager.iCloudURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:name isDirectory:YES];
NSURL* fileURL = [self.docManager.localURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:name];
self.aWriting = [[FNFoundationDocument alloc] initWithFileURL:fileURL];
[self setPersistentStoreOptionsInDocument:self.aWriting];
[self.aWriting saveToURL:fileURL forSaveOperation:UIDocumentSaveForCreating completionHandler:^(BOOL success) {
if (success == YES) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
//create file coordinator
//move document to icloud
NSFileCoordinator* fileCoordinator = [[NSFileCoordinator alloc] initWithFilePresenter:nil];
NSError* coorError = nil;
[fileCoordinator coordinateWritingItemAtURL:cloudURL options:NSFileCoordinatorWritingForReplacing error:&coorError byAccessor:^(NSURL *newURL) {
if (coorError) {
NSLog(#"Coordinating writer error: %#", coorError);
}
NSFileManager* fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError* error = nil;
NSLog(#"Before set ubiq");
[fm setUbiquitous:YES itemAtURL:fileURL destinationURL:newURL error:&error];
if (!error) {
NSLog(#"Set ubiquitous successfully.");
}
else NSLog(#"Error saving to cloud. Error: %#", error);
NSLog(#"State of Doc after error saving to cloud: %#", self.aWriting);
}];
});
}
}];
}
Here's where I set options for iCloud on the persistentStore:
- (void)setPersistentStoreOptionsInDocument:(FNDocument *)theDocument
{
NSMutableDictionary *options = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[options setObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES] forKey:NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption];
[options setObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES] forKey:NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption];
[options setObject:[theDocument.fileURL lastPathComponent] forKey:NSPersistentStoreUbiquitousContentNameKey];
NSURL* coreDataLogDirectory = [self.docManager.coreDataLogsURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:[theDocument.fileURL lastPathComponent]];
NSLog(#"Core data log dir: %#", coreDataLogDirectory);
[options setObject:coreDataLogDirectory forKey:NSPersistentStoreUbiquitousContentURLKey];
theDocument.persistentStoreOptions = options;
}
And here's where I try to reopen it:
- (void) prepareDocForUse
{
NSURL* fileURL = self.singleDocument.fileURL;
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:[fileURL path]]) {
NSLog(#"File doesn't exist");
}
else if (self.singleDocument.documentState == UIDocumentStateClosed) {
// exists on disk, but we need to open it
[self.singleDocument openWithCompletionHandler:^(BOOL success) {
if (!success) {
NSError* error;
[self.singleDocument handleError:error userInteractionPermitted:NO];
}
[self setupFetchedResultsController];
}];
} else if (self.singleDocument.documentState == UIDocumentStateNormal) {
// already open and ready to use
[self setupFetchedResultsController];
}
}
Have you recently been testing various version of iOS? Try changing the title of your saved document to something other than "New Document 34", I was experiencing this same issue and I believe it had to do with conflicting documents saved from different sdk compilations of the app using the same document url.
I target iOS7, I use a single UIManagedDocument as my app DB with the goal to better integrate CoreData and iCloud as suggested by Apple in its documentation. I had the same problem, i solved with the following code.
Since I wrote it, I moved the PSC options settings inside the lazy instantiation of the UIManagedDocument.
My original code created, closed and then reopened the document using the callback with success standard functions. I found it on a book by Erika Sadun. Everything seemed ok but I couldn't reopen the just created and then closed document because it was in "savings error" state. I lost a week on it, I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong because until the reopen everything was perfect.
The following code works perfectly on my iPhone5 and iPad3.

-(void) fetchDataWithBlock: (void (^) (void)) fetchingDataBlock
{
//If the CoreData local file exists then open it and perform the query
if([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:[self.managedDocument.fileURL path]]){

Calling -[NSFileManager setUbiquitous:itemAtURL:destinationURL:error:] never returns

I have a straightforward NSDocument-based Mac OS X app in which I am trying to implement iCloud Document storage. I'm building with the 10.7 SDK.
I have provisioned my app for iCloud document storage and have included the necessary entitlements (AFAICT). The app builds, runs, and creates the local ubiquity container Documents directory correctly (this took a while, but that all seems to be working). I am using the NSFileCoordinator API as Apple recommended. I'm fairly certain I am using the correct UbiquityIdentifier as recommended by Apple (it's redacted below tho).
I have followed Apple's iCloud Document storage demo instructions in this WWDC 2011 video closely:
Session 107 AutoSave and Versions in Lion
My code looks almost identical to the code from that demo.
However, when I call my action to move the current document to the cloud, I experience liveness problems when calling the -[NSFileManager setUbiquitous:itemAtURL:destinationURL:error:] method. It never returns.
Here is the relevant code from my NSDocument subclass. It is almost identical to Apple's WWDC demo code. Since this is an action, this is called on the main thread (as Apple's demo code showed). The deadlock occurs toward the end when the -setUbiquitous:itemAtURL:destinationURL:error: method is called. I have tried moving to a background thread, but it still never returns.
It appears that a semaphore is blocking while waiting for a signal that never arrives.
When running this code in the debugger, my source and destination URLs look correct, so I'm fairly certain they are correctly calculated and I have confirmed the directories exist on disk.
Am I doing anything obviously wrong which would lead to -setUbiquitous never returning?
- (IBAction)moveToOrFromCloud:(id)sender {
NSURL *fileURL = [self fileURL];
if (!fileURL) return;
NSString *bundleID = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:#"CFBundleIdentifier"];
NSString *appID = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"XXXXXXX.%#.macosx", bundleID];
BOOL makeUbiquitous = 1 == [sender tag];
NSURL *destURL = nil;
NSFileManager *mgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
if (makeUbiquitous) {
// get path to local ubiquity container Documents dir
NSURL *dirURL = [[mgr URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier:appID] URLByAppendingPathComponent:#"Documents"];
if (!dirURL) {
NSLog(#"cannot find URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier %#", appID);
return;

}

destURL = [dirURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:[fileURL lastPathComponent]];
} else {

NSArray *dirs = [mgr URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask];
if (![dirs count]) return;
// append this doc's filename

}

NSError *err = nil;
if ([mgr setUbiquitous:makeUbiquitous itemAtURL:fileURL destinationURL:destURL error:&err]) {
[self setFileURL:destURL];
[self setFileModificationDate:nil];
[fc itemAtURL:fileURL didMoveToURL:destURL];
} else {
NSWindow *win = ... // get my window
[self presentError:err modalForWindow:win delegate:nil didPresentSelector:nil contextInfo:NULL];
}
}];
}
I don't know if these are the source of your problems, but here are some things I'm seeing:
-[NSFileManager URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier:] may take a while, so you shouldn't invoke it on the main thread. see the "Locating the Ubiquity Container" section of this blog post
Doing this on the global queue means you should probably use an allocated NSFileManager and not the +defaultManager.
The block passed to the byAccessor portion of the coordinated write is not guaranteed to be called on any particular thread, so you shouldn't be manipulating NSWindows or presenting modal dialogs or anything from within that block (unless you've dispatched it back to the main queue).
I think pretty much all of the iCloud methods on NSFileManager will block until things complete. It's possible that what you're seeing is the method blocking and never returning because things aren't configured properly. I'd double and triple check your settings, maybe try to simplify the reproduction case. If it still isn't working, try filing a bug or contacting DTS.
Just shared this on Twitter with you, but I believe when using NSDocument you don't need to do any of the NSFileCoordinator stuff - just make the document ubiquitous and save.
Hmm,
did you try not using a ubiquity container identifier in code (sorry - ripped out of a project so I've pseudo-coded some of this):
NSFileManager *fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSURL *iCloudDocumentsURL = [[fm URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier:nil] URLByAppendingPathComponent:#"Documents"];
NSURL *iCloudFileURL = [iCloudDocumentsURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:[doc.fileURL lastPathComponent]];
ok = [fm setUbiquitous:YES itemAtURL:doc.fileURL destinationURL:iCloudRecipeURL error:&err];
NSLog(#"doc moved to iCloud, result: %d (%#)",ok,doc.fileURL.fileURL);
And then in your entitlements file:
<key>com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers</key>
<array>
<string>[devID].com.yourcompany.appname</string>
</array>
Other than that, your code looks almost identical to mine (which works - except I'm not using NSDocument but rolling it all myself).
If this is the first place in your code that you are accessing iCloud look in Console.app for a message like this:
taskgated: killed yourAppID [pid 13532] because its use of the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers entitlement is not allowed
Anytime you see this message delete your apps container ~/Library/Containers/<yourAppID>
There may also be other useful messages in Console.app that will help you solve this issue.
I have found that deleting the app container is the new Clean Project when working with iCloud.
Ok, So I was finally able to solve the problem using Dunk's advice. I'm pretty sure the issue I was having is as follows:
Sometime after the WWDC video I was using as a guide was made, Apple completed the ubiquity APIs and removed the need to use an NSFileCoordinator object while saving from within an NSDocument subclass.
So the key was to remove both the creation of the NSFileCoordinator and the call to -[NSFileCoordinator coordinateWritingItemAtURL:options:writingItemAtURL:options:error:byAccessor:]
I also moved this work onto a background thread, although I'm fairly certain that was not absolutely required to fix the issue (although it was certainly a good idea).
I shall now submit my completed code to Google's web crawlers in hopes of assisting future intrepid Xcoders.
Here's my complete solution which works:
