At its basic level my app could be described as a viewer for a large (61M) readonly sqlite database. I am developing a today extension which will require access to this database, but I am struggling to find a way to share this data.
These are the options as I know them with the problems which stops me from using them:
- Copy the data from the bundle to an app group on launch - this doubles the storage requirements for my app.
- Do not store the database in the app bundle and download it - this creates a terrible first launch experience
- Create a framework and store in it in the framework - this prevents me from supporting iOS7
Is there a solution or way round these issues?
