It\u2018s not quite done yet, but several months after kicking off the development of the new iOS app and SDK, It\u2018s time for a sneak preview.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New App Features<\/h2>\n

The new app will take advantage of modern iOS features to give you more options to work with your files and deliver an all-around great user experience.<\/p>\n

If you’re a fan of Apple’s Files app, you’ll be pleased to hear about the new File Provider extension. It will enable you to access and work with your files in Apple’s Files and many other apps.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"ownCloud-File<\/a>

ownCloud is neatly integrated in the Files App.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Using an iPad? Then you can look forward to a productivity boost – thanks to support for iPad Multitasking features like split screen or slide-over. With the planned drag & drop<\/strong> support, you will be able to move files from other apps into ownCloud, by dragging them right into the app – just as you would do on the desktop.<\/p>\n

Built on Apple’s Auto Layout, the new app will adapt well to different languages and screen sizes. And – thanks to the new themeing support – even your personal taste! Part of that is made possible by Themeable Vector Graphics (TVG) – a new format created specifically for the new app. Based on SVG, it will deliver razorsharp images with support for dynamic color changes.<\/p>\n

Advances in background connectivity and planned offline capabilities will provide you with a better user experience around downloads, uploads, and working with your files while you don’t have Internet connectivity.<\/p>\n

Advances in Security<\/h2>\n

If you encounter potential security issues \u2013 such as a TLS certificate failing validation or a redirect during authentication \u2013 the app informs you about these issues. You can then decide whether you want to trust the connection regardless and continue \u2013 or stop at that point.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"ownCloud-Add<\/a>

Review redirects during authentication.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unlike most other iOS apps, the new ownCloud app provides you with a detailed, meaningful summary of TLS certificates, so that you can really establish their authenticity and make an informed decision on whether you want to trust them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"ownCloud-Add<\/a>

View certificate details in the new ownCloud app.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you trust a TLS certificate that failed validation, your decision is saved alongside a timestamp for later reference. A dedicated certificate management section in the new app\u2018s settings will allow you to review your past decisions – and revoke trust if necessary.<\/p>\n
