There is an AIR magazine application that downloads it's content as you view it. I want to save a couple of pages on my local disk, is there a way to do it?
The App does't store anything in it's Application Contents folder (I'm on a Mac) or in ~/Library/Application Support/.
Thanks.

I'm making a Windows Store app that gets files from a server and store it locally for quick access. I also want to make it sync the file with Dropbox and push changes to Dropbox if the user make any. I looked into CachedFileUpdater and it seems to work if I use another Windows Store app to edit the file. However I ran into a great trouble trying to monitor changes made by a desktop app. This matters a lot because many files are office documents and Office 2013 is available to Windows RT and I would also like the app to be available to Windows 8.
First I tried to use CachedFileUpdater on all files but when I open the file using a desktop app, it will be opened in read-only mode and I can't save it in desktop mode. If I dont use it if the user chooses to open it with desktop app, the change will be saved but later my app won't be able to access that file somehow. I guess it is because the owner changes to the desktop app. Now not only I seem to have no way to monitor the file changes, but also can't I access those changes once it is modified by a desktop app.\
Is there some trick that may help? Thank you very much!
Any one please help me....In our project, we have lot of videos may be 84 videos(its compressed zip folder size is 2 GB). We can put it in web services....
But we found, In android, there is an option called .apk file expansion. ie., we can put your app + compressed zipped video folder file into google play. when user play any video in app, it will be downloaded to mobile memory. We have to write code to play video from mobile memory....
something like this is in .ipa file?
iOS 6 introduced hosted content, but only for In-App-Purchases: "Host In-App Purchase content on Apple’s servers, so you can easily add, manage, and deliver In-App Purchase content for your app."
Please give me idea, How I can load a zip file to the iPhone document folder through the standard means of. I need periodically to load the zip file produced by the some Windows application. Maybe with help of iTunes?
It should work as read the zip file and update some view on my iPhone app. There is no WiFi connection or internet connection, only connection with computer.
To enable File Sharing in your app, you simply set the boolean flag “UIFileSharingEnabled” in your info.plist.

Well, I'm new to the Mac OS X platform and seriously I don't know anything about it. I mean on Windows I just store it at the Program's Files directory, What about the Mac, is there any recommended place to put the files?
Resources related to your application that will not be changed after the app is installed going into the app wrapper (see documentation).
Cached data that can be deleted at any time goes in ~/Library/Caches.
Supporting data that should generally be persisted, but isn't document data, goes in ~/Library/Application Support.
Documents and user data that is primary to the purpose of your app goes in ~/Documents, generally.
Preferences go in ~/Library/Preferences, but are generally read/written entirely via the NSUserDefaults API.
~/Library/Application Support/YourAppName/yourFilesHere
This way the files will be personal to the user using your app. If you want tho files to be global they should be in your app bundle/Resources/
To get the home directory ( the tilde ~ ) you can use NSHomeDirectory or you could use [#"~" stringByExpandingTildeIntoPath];
You can store your application-created / application-deependant files in ~/Library/Application Support/YourApp/Files. Otherwise, user created Documents would most likely be best stored in the Documents directory.
I am wondering if there is a way in objective c to have my iPad app copy a file in it's documents folder to another app's documents folder and have that app open the file for editing and finally copy the file back to my documents folder. Or better yet, can I have another app open a file from my documents folder, edit the file, and save it back to my documents folder?
So far I know I can have another app open a file in my documents folder but the app that I'm handing the document off to seems to be making a local copy and editing the copy. I also know that each app's document folder is a shared folder that users can drag and drop stuff from itunes but I'm not sure if the same can be done in code.
I am pretty sure what you are trying to do is impossible. iOS applications are "sandboxed" which means that each app has its own documents directory. No application has access to the file system outside its own "sandbox" i.e. outside its own local documents directory.
For more on the iOS application sandbox, Read here.
Though a sandbox exists, I found a way to work around it (it's a trick being used by other File Manager apps like GoAruna). I would first register my app as an app that can open the type of files that I plan to work with. Then I use the Open In functionality to have my users open up my apps local documents in the second app, an app like iAnnotate. Then, because my app is registered as an app that can open the current file type, I can instruct my users to use Open In from iAnnotate to move the modified document back to my app. Sorry but I could not accept "no" as an answer. If anyone is interested in this approach, go here
If your iPad is jail broken, try this:
On the app iFile, type in the document name in the search box located at the top. Once you find the document, click on it and options would be showed to you. From here you can choose the app you want to open the file with.
Hope this helps.
