Prerequisites
It is assumed that attached documents functionality
has been defined for the mobile application. This procedure does
not describe how to define or implement this functionality, but
only how to define the mobile application for iOS client devices
to prevent attached documents from being accessible via iTunes.
Task
This procedure describes how to define the mobile application
to secure attached documents from iTunes access on iOS client devices.
This process involves setting the iOS Base Path attribute of external
data properties within the application to a value other than Documents,
typically the Application Support option.
This procedure needs
to be repeated for each external data property within the mobile
application project.
- Using the Agentry
Editor navigate
to the external data property definition within the mobile application project.
Select the File Locations tab within the Properties view of the
definition.
- Within the iOS section of attributes on this tab, set
the Base Path attribute to the option “Application Support.”
- Save the changes made and repeat this process for any
other external data properties within the application project.
- After all external data properties have been modified,
publish the application to the Agentry
Server and
test the behavior. Be sure to connect the iOS device to an iTunes
application and verify the attachments for the mobile application
are no longer accessible through iTunes.
- When ready to make this behavior available to the mobile
users, publish or deploy the application to the Agentry
Server in
the production environment. This new behavior will take affect when
mobile users perform their next synchronization.
After this procedure is complete the files stored on
the iOS device by the Agentry
Client will
no longer be accessible to the iTunes application.
