zip extraction issue in ipad safari

Thanks for your quick response.

Yes we did tried to find the solution on phonegap, but iPad safari browser is not supported to convert base64 to blob type. Every time we are getting 19 as a response.

We just wanted to know whether safari supports blob conversion or is there any other way to do it.

Sample Code:

var base64ToBlobSync = function(base64) {
var binary = atob(base64);
var len = binary.length;
var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(len);
var view = new Uint8Array(buffer);
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
view[i] = binary.charCodeAt(i);
}
var contentType = 'application/zip'
alert("view.length "+view.length);
var blob = new Blob([view],{type: contentType});
return blob;
};

var blob = base64ToBlobSync(base64data); // this returns 19 always.

Hi Michael,

We are developing an app for ipad. We send a request to server for download a file which is in a zip format because this zip file contains bunch of other files which are required.

We want to store the zip file on browser file system, extract it and open one of the file in it.

We are not using native language (Objective C) to build application. We are building this app using online Adobe Phonegap build tool. The tools we are using to develop this app are:

1. Phoengap
2. SenchaTouch/Javascript
3. HTML5
4. CSS3

we are able to save .zip file in Safari browser but we are facing issues in extraction. Can you please provide us pointers to solve this issue?

Hi, Michael,

Thanks and we appreicate your time for the same.

Have a great day..!!
