Joey,
Oh my :-( I have this love/hate feeling about Apple; they make such
nice devices but have this need to force you into their straightjacket.
I really hope that Eric finds the time to at least *try* to get Apple
to permit sharing.
It's a step backwards for J on the iPhone -- I'll have to go back
and look at the options that were discussed years ago, which I've now
forgotten.
Well, I find the 6+ is a lot faster, but that's coming from a 4S.
~15% faster on the matrix inversion compared to the 5S doesn't seem
like much of a step up, but the graphics are better and also battery
life.

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 -

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!
