App Group Folder Access

MacOSX and iOS

Coming to this thread trying to figure out what’s the best path for me to share a folder with JUCE AUv3 and Standalone it seems that you need:

  • App Group ID (support by projucer/juce)
  • getAppGroupContainerLocation - not supported by JUCE.

Once I get the container location I can use it in both. is that correct?
Maybe worth adding the getAppGroupContainerLocation into JUCE with AUv3/Standalone pretty common combo.

Yes, that’ll do it. Until it’s part of JUCE.

Thanks for your patience. I’ve added a new function getContainerForSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier here:

Note that we cannot automatically divine the name of the app group to use here, as the app may be part of many app groups. Instead, you must pass the identifier of the app group whose container you require.

We’ve also added functionality to the URL class, to allow specifying a shared container for downloads:
