[Guest]

Hi everyone,

                 We need to implement the icloud in my current Project developed for IPAD developed in flash builder 4.6.

                 I have no idea about how to implment this is flex as its is urgent because  I am new in flex,actully I have also post this discussion in flex Forum but could not get the response from any one.So after finding no hope from that forum i have posted in this section ,Please suggest if any one has some idea about ICloud.

                                         Thanks in advance....

Can you be more specific in exactly what you need to do with iCloud? I have very limited usage of it and largely from what I understand it will auto-backup any files not marked with the "do not back up" bit that are stored in the application storage directory. The files must be critical for the apps operation to be valid to back up however or you could get your app denied.

Hi Sinious,

                  Thanks for giving me a quick reply.

                   We have to take the image backup in my ipad with icloud.So what i will do please give some idea.

Can you please explain what you mean by "take the image backup"? Is this literally an image (PNG, JPG, etc) and is it packaged or downloaded by your app into your application storage folder? Are you trying to access images from something else like the camera roll? Do you mean an ISO image?

Please give as many details as to exactly what you need to do with iCloud as possible. I may not be able to answer but it will help someone else give you a better answer.

Hi Sinious,

                 Thanks for kind reply.

                   Actually we want to show all the images and video in my flex app, downloaded by icloud in the Ipad .So i think first of all we need to check whether icloud is configure in ipad or not,and after finding the enable icloud configration in the Ipad we need to fetch all the images and video in my app.

                 Another Problem is that , i am able to fetch the camera roll images in the app but not able to fetch the video created by me in the ipad .

             Now i feel that u can better understand my problem . If u still feel the problem to understand what i want Please reply me.

I'm sorry I'll have to bow out of this convo as my experience with iCloud doesn't pertain to anything more than policy for inter-app files. I know Xcode has some direct integration but the last I read (2 versions of AIR ago, 3.4) is there was no actual implementation of iCloud. There was only a "do no back up" bit and some policy regarding how files are stored so iCloud doesn't back up reproducable non-critical files, filling their servers with junk.

I did read that at that time for any functionality you'd need to look for an ANE for it. Those ANEs at the time merely gave you access to key/value stores, nothing like what you're talking about regarding images. Just small bits of text.
