With PdParty, the built in web server provides access to the Documents directory.

Ahh interesting, how does that work? Do you connect to the iPhones server and upload files through some interface?

This article provides more info on the different iOS app directories https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/FileManagement/Concept...

One thing we had to be careful of was that downloadable data could be wiped by the OS to make space, and had to be something that could be recreated again at a later stage.

Also, from Gemma on the App Store:

if you want to create your own Gem, follow these steps:

1. Get the Gemma app
2. Download and install GemmaLib from our homepage
3. Create your own instrument and GUI in Pure Data with tools within

GemmaLib 4. Drag and drop your file into the "Documents" folder of iTunes 5. Play your instrument on iPad or iPhone 6. And don’t forget to share your Gem through our website

So you create a scene and upload the bundle to the app Documents dir via iTunes. PdParty supports this but it’s limiting in the long run as you can only access a single flat folder.

Damn, I gotta finish PdParty :P Still gotta finish my thesis first, working on it now.

This is how all iSO apps work with local data. You can only write to that specific app's Documents or Temp directories as part of the app sandboxing. Temp is cleared by the OS automatically, I think when the app is closed.

With PdParty, the built in web server provides access to the Documents directory. RjDJ worked in the opposite sense, as Joe says, in that it looked for existing scenes as zipped bundles form the RjDj website or from a local custom RjDj webserver Python script running on your computer. The latter is how I would test RjDj scenes I wrote on my machine.

Hey Patrick,

You can download assets to the apps data directory. The patches are probably stored on a server somewhere as bundles. At least that's how it was done at RjDj.
