iOS Question sharing files between app users

[Branko Milosevic]

Hi All, I need users of my app (it just got approved for sale) to be able to share files generated by the app. So sending is not a problem via standard share options, text, e-mail etc. What are the options on the receiver side? ideally the received file should show up in the default folder of the app. With the file system open to the user on Android it is simple to instruct the user to move file to the app's default dir. What about iOS? any idea?
Thanks,

It is more difficult in iOS as there is no shared storage.

Apple doesn't allow apps to have access to texts, so there's nothing you'll be able to do in that regard. I have an iOS app that shares a database, however it uses AirDrop - so the devices have to be close enough to create an ad-hoc connection (& it was written in Swift, so I don't know if B4i supports AirDrop).
