Internal storage not available on iOS

[tgdbepe4]

The APP is starting but clicking on local or cloud files bottom shows no reaction

We couldn't reproduce this issue here. Is anyone able to confirm that? Do you have a reason to assume it's related to this specific ios version?

I have now IOS 15.2 but still the same observation. A click on "Open local file" shows no reaction.

[m-kuhn]

Interesting. Did you try with a different device too? If yes, which iOS version and is it the same behavior?

[tgdbepe4]

No only on my iPhone 12 with IOS 15.2 but it was still the case with 15.1. The bottom "QFieldClod projects is working. I have made a registration but I don't know if I am now registered or not. If then I haven't found a way to reset my password.

[m-kuhn]

Interesting, we'll have a look at that.

You can reset your passowrd here https://app.qfield.cloud/accounts/password/reset/ If it doesn't work, please send me a notice with your email address and I'll be happy to enable an account for you.

It works correctly for QFieldCloud.

For local files, I believe we are facing the same issues than on Android.

All third-party apps are “sandboxed,” so they are restricted from accessing files stored by other apps or from making changes to the device. (…) Each app has a unique home directory for its files, which is randomly assigned when the app is installed.

From https://support.apple.com/en-ae/guide/security/sec15bfe098e/web

Further readings: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/view_controllers/providing_access_to_directories https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70750276/how-to-enable-files-and-folders-permission-on-ios

So opening one file is fine, but I guess the issue is with project and data files along it.

There is an open issue on Qt to provide this functionality https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-67522

[m-kuhn]

Would it be possible to show the "randomly assigned home directory" in the about screen?

@m-kuhn How would this help?

[m-kuhn]

A user could copy his files there if I understood this correctly?

Implemented.
