External storage

[mrdebug]

To get the external storage on Android I use
@ #ifdef Q_OS_ANDROID
StorageDirectory= getenv("EXTERNAL_STORAGE");
#elseif defined(Q_OS_IOS)
@

but in iOS?

Hi,

What external storage are you expecting on a iOS device ?

[mrdebug]

Can I store data in home dir as a unix system?
The data will be erase when the app will be upgrade as Android?

You should access storage only thru Qt official way: see QStandardPaths object.

More specifically: on these mobile OS there's a lot of strict restrictions on where you can write.

Use the suggestion of AlterX

Been doing some work on this today...

@
StorageDirectory= getenv("EXTERNAL_STORAGE");

will only give you the internal sd card on certain devices, for example all the Samsung Tab varieties.

I did read somewhere that QStandardPaths may include an external storage location, later on down the line.
