The developer document I linked to has several paragraphs readable by anyone, but it dives into developer minutia very quickly so feel free to bail on that link before the simple idea behind UTI gets confused If safari detects another app has registered for a download, you will see an "open in apptastic" to indicate that mobile safari will download that file but hand it off to another app to store in that app's sandbox.

Improve this answer. Gerry Gerry Evernote is another app that registers for downloads like that. Please include a reference or remove the line about jailbreaking please. To my knowledge, Mobile Safari's behavior cannot be altered to allow for the direct downloading or uploading of a file. At least in the past there have been plugins for Mobile Safari on jailbroken iPhones to enable downloads. I don't speak from experience but I do think it is worth mentioning, and Google returns quite a few, though possibly out-dated results.

The "target" attribute in Safari seems to override the "download" attribute. Currently, as to my knowledge, there is no way to solve this. So I think you have to wait for the next Safari version 13 which will be out in a few months. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.

I have a blob created with a base64, and I need to make this data downloadable as a pdf. Do you know how can I download a blob got from a base64 no XHR involved in this browser? Thank you.

Page content loaded. I think this is possible if you let Safari load the file in its rough way and then tap the Share button with the square and the up-arrow at the bottom-center of the screen. You can choose a list of apps to send the file to the upper row of app icons , or a list of actions to perform the lower row of gray icons. In most cases the lower row offers the option to Save to Dropbox, and with the formats you're using I think it also offers the option to Save to Files.
