Evening community.
I'm in the process of developing a windows based application which heavily revolves around mobiles being connected to a machine via USB, Currently. The communication between android using googles ADB drivers works without a problem (currently, that is). The problem is getting said application to integrate well with IOS users.
What the application does I'm bascially reinventing the wheel of stock control for a client, who wants a completely customized application based around their current mobile barcode scanner which scans and saves the scanned items to a file name created with the date & Time in a text format. This application is both on IOS and Android devices.
What i'm looking to do, is have their current machine automatically map the connected device to a drive letter to allow easier browsing of the device through the application & Pull the necessary file and save locally to then make other changes as needed..
So, the overall question. Is, that without having a jailbroken/rooted mobile device to allow Mass Storage, is it possible to have a Windows XP based machine to automatically map connected IOS and Android devices to a drive letter? There will be only one device connected at one time
is it possible to have a Windows XP based machine
XP's out of support and end of life. Time for your client to upgrade. Well, past time, but whatever.so upgrading on the Workshop machines are a little out of the question
They'll have to sooner or later. Sooner is cheaper and easier. If your client wants to shoot themselves in the foot, and you want to charge money to help them blow their foot off, that's your business, but I wouldn't expect much in the way of help around here.
