从Iphone照片库上传照片

Question

I'm just going to learn Objective-C, because I want to build an app that uploads all my media in the gallery on Iphone, to an FTP-server every midnight.

However, because the photo library may contain personal images, I read that the only way to access it is via user interaction. Is this really true? Can't just build a app that automatic every midnight takes all the media in my gallery and just simply upload it?

Answer 1

This is TRUE the user is required to give there consent before uploading, this is because there maybe images that they don't want uploading. So yes you can build an app that does what you want but this kind of app will never make it into the app store. As I don't work for Apple I am only taking a guess at some of the things they would reject you for, here is a small list :

17.1 - Apps cannot transmit data about a user without obtaining the user's prior permission and providing the user with access to information about how and where the data will be used

22.4 - Apps that enable illegal file sharing will be rejected

I'd probably say with a good legal spin they could reject you for

17.4 -Apps that collect, transmit, or have the capability to share personal information (eg name, address, email, location, photos, videos, drawings, the ability to chat, other personal data, or persistent identifiers used in combination with any of the above) from a minor must comply with applicable children's privacy statutes, and must include a privacy policy

(Please note like I say I don't work for Apple so I can only speculate what they would reject it for but it can't be done)
