Hi,
I have developed a WinDEV application based an Windows. The application is for service technicians.
They will use modules of the Windows application to create the service documents on iPADs.
So I created the App for the iPad with WindevMobile 20 and - after days of tests, frustrations - I was able to generate the iPad APP with XCode. As a member of the Apple Developer Network I have installed it directly to the iPad (they are registered devices).
The App runs correctly on the IPad, but I have a very big problem with the exchange of the data.

The technicians must get data from the dispatchers, when they are on tour in Germany and Denmark. So I thought, the could exchange them with iCloud or dropbox. In the iCloud I pushed the data for service in directories. Thats runs, no problem.
But how could I take them to the iPad ?
But how could I get them of the iPad ?
Where are my files on the iPad (I set them in the generation of the WindeV Mobile to .. documents) ?
Is there a utility on the iPad, where the data tables could be seen and copied ?
Or is there an other way to exchange data tables with an iPad ?

I´m very grateful for any tip.

With Regards
Bertrand

Bertrand,

how about using FTP on this? You could connect to a FTP server and download the files to a local dir on the iPad. This works both ways, so the results could be uploaded to the FTP server as well.

Another idea is to use HFSQL in C/S mode. You don't have to set up a webservice, you just need a server with HFSQL that is reachable via Internet.

I did this for an android app and it works great.

Hi Sebastian,

thank you for your tips.
My tests in the last days have the result(s), that on an iPad you have allways only a logical directory based on the App which is installed. In my case its allways another directory after every update. I.e. /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/1SD042D9 ....AB5EE4/Documents.
/Documents follows the Windev Mobile definition when you start the generation of the app.
A Container is installed on an iPad for every application.
That can be shown with fdatadir() . But you cannot have access to this path with any tool.

I tested with icloud, but icloud does not exchange data with my application. It even don´t show a .ZIP file,
which is copied with a windows PC.

It seems, that Apple wants to forbid any access to any data, which don´t comes with iTunes.
It´s frustrating.

I will test your tip with a little project using HFSQL C/S an a server with access through the web.

But then the App only runs, when there is a connection to the web. Then it could be a better way, to use the citrix client to have access to the main program.

I will test ...
