QuickOffice Integration broken on IOS 8

[dynabix]

Hi

In IOS 8 the QuickOffice integration including Saveback is broken. QuickOffice crashes when trying to open a document from Alfresco Mobile.
Since QuickOffice is not developed any further by Google this problem will probably not be solved anymore.
The excellent integration between Alfresco Mobile and QuickOffice was really great, delivering a seamless user experience on IOS devices for retrieving, editing and saving documents.

Are there plans to integrate in a similar way with other IOS Office apps like Documents To Go?

Best regards,
David

Hi David

What we're hoping is that developers of apps that can edit documents will start to adopt the iOS 8 document provider extensions (part of iCloud Drive). This mechanism is the official Apple-supported way of round-tripping documents between apps. It's something we looked at during the iOS 8 beta phase, but was much too unreliable to spend too much effort on and we concentrated on other areas. We'll definitely be looking at this again for the next major version of our own app.

Thanks,
Mike
