Hi Brendan
I have just created a form with loads of file attachments for my web page base photographic resources, saved in a file attachment field using ‘multiple’ files. I have just synced it for the first time and none of the links work on my iPad, they do on the Mac. I had assumed as I have my bookmarks synced it would work OK. Tell me I have not just wasted the last few days!
Cheers

Hi Tony,
Well, a .webloc file is understood by the Finder to mean, parse this XML file and find the URL contained within and then launch Safari to view it. iOS knows nothing about them.
This is what it looks like inside one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>URL</key>
<string>https://www.tapforms.com/forums/forum/</string>
</dict>
</plist>
So no, Tap Forms doesn’t know what to do with them. I’d have to write special code to read the .webloc file’s XML, parse it, and then go to the URL specified.
