iTunes Share

metsgl · 04-07-2012, 12:07 AM

What is the iTunes share feature? Does it allow me to sync my game between my iPhone and iPad? If so, how could I do this and if not could this be a feature added in the future?

We enabled iTunes Share but the feature itself as designed by Apple is questionable. You can only add and remove in the root of the documents folder which is great for a game like Angry Birds I guess but we have to organize our files in folders (otherwise we could only allow only one save game). So it makes it easier to get save games from your device but to move them to another device you still need 3rd party tools.

The only option we would have is iCloud but with the amount of data we have to save it is almost impossible to say if we ever will be able to use it.

iCloud gives 5GB for free and you could make it so that only one saved game can be stored on it at a time. Then it can be erased once it is downloaded on a new device.

I have no idea whether this is possible or easy to implement but I am just giving an idea.

Sebastian- I am wondering if there is a way to use iTunes Share to play a single season on iPhone and an iPad. I can see files in iTunes, but do not know which need to be moved to sync between devices.

I was thinking of upgrading from iootp 2011 if there was an automatic sync available, but I guess there isn't. Could it be possible to do something using Dropbox or something like it?
