-- not actively maintained by creator any more. feel free to fork it in order to update the code to the latest Synology API documentation --
Example iOS application demonstrating how the NSURLSession class can interact with the Synology File Station API.
- This example application has the purpose of showing how to use the Synology File Station API together with the NSURLSession class and related classes. Regarding networking, it does therefore not rely on third party dependencies like AFNetworking.
- A major part of this example app has been taken from Ray Wenderlich's NSURLSession-tutorial which you can find here.
- The major difference is that this example app does not rely on the Dropbox API but on Synology's File Station API. Instead of storing the note files in the user's dropbox account the notes (or "challenges") are uploaded to a shared folder on the user's Disk Station.
- You can find a guide to the File Station API here.
- File Station must be running on your DS
- The selected shared folder must be accessible by your user with read and write permissions
- In order to use this app outside of your LAN, you must open the necessary ports in your router (see DS manual for details - port forwarding) and either resolve your own domain name with your DS or use a DDNS provider (like Synology).
- This application does not support Synology's Quick Connect which is only available for Synology's own mobile apps.
- It is strongly recommended to switch on https for secure server communication. In case you receive an error message with https enabled, please log in to your DS with admin permissions and create a self-signed-certificate (control panel / security / certificate). ⋅⋅* Export the certificates and keys. Store the certificates (root and server certificates, both have the file extension .crt) in a secure location separately from the key files! ⋅⋅* Simply drag an drop the crt-files into the iphone simulator
This app is put under MIT license (see below). **Please feel free to use this app as inspiration or basis for your own apps. **
Please feel free to modify and extend its functionality. For example, the app does neither save note files nor photos locally (e.g. in the app's document or temp folder). This would make the photo thumbnail table view appear much faster.
