Upload file from iPhone media library, in 2012


I'm about to launch a service where one of the feature is to upload files with an 'upload' button on a website. Some years ago, I made some program for iPhone, and I remember that it was impossible to upload an MP3 from the library, because each app is in its sandbox, though I was able to upload MP3 placed in the sandbox itself.

There is an old post on SO about the impossibility to upload from the library to a website:

A html5 web app for mobile safari to upload images from the Photos.app?

Is possible as of may 2012 for an iPhone/iPad to be prompted into the music library when clicking on an html upload button?


Solution

  • Apple will not allow you to do this. Although it may be possible using private APIs or perhaps the Media Player framework, it will not be accepted by Apple.
