Patrick,
I was nonplussed to discover this too. I solicited Eric to send an
update to Apple asking to turn on sharing, but he is too busy with other
projects and is skeptical that they would approve it. I can report that
things have tightened down even more in iOS9, but I also think it is
possible that they have revised policies and might reconsider allowing j
to share data.
Other apps on my iPhone have share access enabled, apps such as Winzip,
Air Sharing, and even iExplorer itself. Eric encouraged me to build a
sockets application that would assist import, and maybe that is possible
- even enabling cloud.ijs files, but I sorely miss the convenience of
iExplorer...
I'm a little disappointed in the speed you report for the 6+ (but it's
more incentive for me to wait for a 6s ... :-)
From my 2 year old 5s -
10(6!:2)'%. 500 500?@$10000'

I've just upgraded my old iPhone 4S to a new 6 Plus.
It's still small enough to fit in my pocket, and the
extra screen real estate makes running J nicer.
Of course the new phone comes with the current version
of iOS: 8.4. Thinking it would be the easiest way to
move files in and out of J, I purchased iExplorer as
the easiest way to move files in and out of J.
Well! It seems that as of 8.4 (or maybe even 8.3) it
is not possible to see the files of applications that
have not received permission from Apple for this. (It
is possible to see the files in the "backups" folder,
but I don't think it would be easy to import data this
way.)
iExplorer says on their website that the app developers
should contact Apple to have the restriction on their
app lifted, implying that this would be granted (?).
So has anyone faced this issue with an iPhone 6 running
8.4? What is the best way to move files into J? I am a
bit reluctant to jailbreak this new phone (though I did
that with my old 4S).
Thanks for any help,
Patrick
PS. Time on the iPhone 6 to invert a 500x500
matrix is only 0.55 sec!
