Possible to update released device target database without updating the app?

By isykaleo5 on Wed, 04/10/2013 - 04:27

Hi there,

We are releasing an iOS AR app soon (using local device target database).

But we might need to add additional targets after submitting to appstore.

As it takes 7 days to get approved by apple, is there possible way to update the device target database without updating the app?

We can successfully do this in android versions (as we have full access to all of the folders).

But in iOS, apple only allows updating the document folder, we can’t update files in the device target database.

Much appreciate any help!

Many thanks!

Isaac

Possible to update released device target database without updat

Hi Isaac,

Yes this is possible.

You will need to host the .dat and .xml somewhere and download these to the Documents directory.

Then in the app you need to use STORAGE_ABSOLUTE rather than STORAGE_APPRESOURCE when you load the dataset from the documents directory.

Hi,

Is it possible to fetch the .dat and .xml files from a web url? Where should I set them in the app?

Thanks,

If you look at the existing Image Targets sample they are set in the AppDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions() method

Hello

I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but I am facing a similar situation: we have planned to release the app *before* we have the full images and targets.
