Trying to work out what Dropbox does with file packages on iOS. Docs seem to imply they do something clever on MacOS but not iOS, but docs are old…
Guess I’m building a test app.
(Context: my shared file-writing library currently saves file packages. I’m bringing it to iOS, and would like to make sure that any Files app plugin (eg Dropbox) is a valid save location that works cross platform.)
@amyworrall We definitely hit problems in the past; I thought on both macOS and iOS but I can't say for sure. It was a major factor in switching to using a zipped document format as the default. That was a while back and hopefully no longer an issue, but I don't know.
@andrewabernathy one of my sources of info for “this might actually be a problem” was the Omni forums :)
@andrewabernathy @amyworrall I have a feeling that’s why we switched for Sketch too - though it was rather a long time ago…
@andrewabernathy @amyworrall I don't have any newer info about whether it's still a potential issue or not, but I do know for certain that it was both macOS and iOS.
Essentially we'd get `presentedItemDidChange()` on our documents when only one of many files that changed inside the package had been downloaded, when those are supposed to be atomic.
@gregtitus @andrewabernathy I’ve just been writing code that holds off on document loading if some of the sub files are missing…
Maybe I should bite the bullet and go zipped.
@amyworrall Building a tiny test app is honestly the most reliable way to settle docs that old. Hope Dropbox behaves the way you want.
