iTunes File Sharing

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I have an ionic app that I build for the iTunes store via:

ionic package build ios --release --profile prod

However, I now need to enable iTunes file sharing for this app.

Typically, you would edit the .plist file and add an entry for UIFileSharingEnabled set to Yes, but I haven’t found a way to do this via ionic package.

Is there a way to enable UIFileSharing with ionic package?

If so, it would be a Cordova config entry, plugin or hook (although there are only a few support on Package) that would do that.

Thanks for the reply, Sujan12. You pointed me in the right direction.

I found the cordova plugin itunesfilesharing is what I needed.

If anyone stumbles upon this thread and has the same issue, here is the line I added to my config.xml to enable iTunes file sharing:

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-itunesfilesharing" spec="^0.0.1" />

The above entry allowed me to use ionic package build ios to get a suitable .ipa for the iTunes store.

To get itunes file sharing, you might as well use the Audio Converter for Windows from DRmare. It is powerful to get the music downloads on your computer. The music files are kept losslessly with ID3 tags. You can play the songs on any players offline anytime and add to your apps for sharing.
