Dragon007 Lost but trying Posts: 1509 Reg: Dec 17, 2011 London 20,590	confirm \| cancel 03/31/13 02:13 AM (12 years ago) Started Something I Cannot Finish (IAP) The other day, I was really excited about using IAP and started the whole process only to find out I could not do what I wanted with the IAP plugin, which is to allow users to download audio from the Internet onto the iPhone. I tried the custom URL didn't work and the audio files are to big to store locally and I have upto 600 audio files each about 70-100MB. Because I'm not a strong coder, in fact I'm rubbish, I am completely stuck and hit a dead end. Now, there does appear to be a few options: 1. To use this code: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13315418/how-to-download-audio-files-from-a-server-into-my-iphone-application But I don't know how to use and it occurred to me that possibly creating this as a plugin to use a long side the IAP plugin might help those who want to sell audio for download. 2. 2nd option is to use Apples hosting, but you can only upload .pkg files and I don't know if you can package an audio file to be unpacked/installed to your iPhone audio playlist, as there is no mention of being able to do this anywhere. Has anybody used the IAP plugin for downloading audio files to an iOS device? I have seen it done in Stobes Buzzcast app but that's about it. Pulling my hair out, really need help.

Ive tried to hard code and looked at using parse but its an absolute mine field. I have an app that would benefit massively from IAP but i've lost lots of time trying to get it. I'm happy spending the time if I end up getting it but its not straight forward and its not happening! I've not used the BT IAP plugin but i'm tempted to see what it can do. Apologies that this is not the response you hoped for but I will not give up on IAP and if I get it i'll be sure to help you out.

Did you look at the link by any chance? If we can get a more experience dev who can create a plugin from th link I posted, hopefully problem solved. I'm just gutted I changed my app to accomendate IAP only to find it was a no go. Comments Hi Alex No problem at least someone out there is feeling my frustration.
