I'm sure this must have been covered before but I can't find much info on it, so if someone can point me in the right direction it'd be appreciated.
My boss has asked me to develop an application to allow users to download a product spec onto an iPad so that the user can take this information to site and edit it.
The edited information would be uploaded back to the server at a later date.
Obviously this would be straight forward via wifi or a 3g connection, however we cannot rely on all of our customers having these connections. Therefore we need to be able to transfer the data via the USB cable.
My understanding is that apple have specifically prohibited this functionality? But then I have read of numerous apps that can transfer data via USB.
Search your documentation for the UIFileSharingEnabled key. It will allow any device running iOS version 3.2 or higher to share files over USB using iTunes. I believe it's the only Apple approved way to do it.
Hi, guys, I'm also facing the same problem. I'm also developing an app that can transfer data and send command to PC. I have not found the solution yet.
DO you think with Apple's MFI license, Apple can provide some SDK or hardware solution?
USB Data Transfer
Linear Mode
