Copy Large number of Files in Standalone Settings

Post by trags3 » Tue Jan 27, 2015 2:44 pm

Hello all,
I am contemplating an app with a large number of images and short audio files. I have a couple of questions.
1. Is the limit to the number of files I can copy just the size on the disk or is there a maximum number of files that can be copied?
2. Can all the files I want to copy be included in a zip file and unzipped on the mobile device?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Tom

I checked on the Apple forums. There seems to be no hard limit to the number of files that can be distributed with the app. :)

Hi Tom,
1. Is the limit to the number of files I can copy just the size on the disk or is there a maximum number of files that can be copied?
I don't know what is the best way for your project.
In one of my apps with more 3000 imgs and sounds I use external files.
2. Can all the files I want to copy be included in a zip file and unzipped on the mobile device?
Yes but you have to know that revZipEnumerateItems only works until LC 6.7.1
Best regards

Thanks, Jean-Marc
I expect only about 2000 Images and sound files.
Thanks for the input.
