What is the maximum sandbox size on iPad?

Hii to all,

we have a assignment for ios app which contains client files which comes around 1 GB , so user opens the app , upon authentication - it will download files from remote server & it should be stored to iphone's internal storage , when any of the files get update that files needs to be downloaded & stored as well,

My question is is that possible ti download such high memory of data remotely?

also is ios devices allows to store app related data around 1 GB content in its internal storage?

Thank you,

  • @charlie - Thanks charlie - But is explains only the size of an app - that's not my question. – Karthikeyan Jun 01 '11 at 15:59
  • When I google around to find some info for my answer, if all of that info comes from other stackoverflow questions, it might be a dupe! :) – CharlieMezak Jun 01 '11 at 16:01

You can save them, but downloading the whole file over the network might not be a good idea. You should package it up with your download instead of trying to download it remotely.

For updating it, you could use ASIHTTPRequest with the shouldContinueWhenAppEntersBackground parameter set to YES, so it doesn't stop downloading once the user leaves your application.

But 1GB? What sort of content is it? Maybe we can figure out a way to split it into multiple network calls or something?

  • Thanks & App concept is like showcase its various product portfolis which comes with any kind of content like pdf , doc, video,audio etc – Karthikeyan Jun 01 '11 at 16:05
  • Is it practical to push out an update every time the video content changes instead of trying to download it automatically? That might be much simpler .. – Tejaswi Yerukalapudi Jun 01 '11 at 17:51
  • Yes But Video Content changes for every month & other content will vary for every 2 -3 days. – Karthikeyan Jun 01 '11 at 17:55
  • Hmm.. The only other thing I can think of to avoid this is to host the video online and stream it instead of downloading the whole video file. That's all I can think of for now, if that doesn't work for you, maybe someone else can come up with a better answer .. – Tejaswi Yerukalapudi Jun 01 '11 at 18:12
