UIWebView loadData and iWork files

Question

I am trying to open an iWork 10 Numbers file hosted on a website in UIWebView. I tried the following and it happens that the UIWebView loads empty. If I upload a file to the local Documents folder and then upload it to UIWebView, it works. I would like to read the iWork file without downloading them ...

FYI, I have no problems with PDF, PPT, DOC, XLS ...

Can someone tell me how to upload iWork file from NSdata to UIWebView?

[webView loadData:receivedData MIMEType:file.mediaMimetype textEncodingName:nil baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:PATHTOFILE] ]; 

Tested values ​​for type mediaMimet:

• application /vnd.apple.numbers
• application / x-iwork-number-sffnumbers

Answer 1

You need to compress the iWork file with the .zip extension to display in webview.
