From what I can see there is no option to download an audiobook on iOS. I just switched over from android and am not seeing that option. Perhaps I am missing something or is that feature not implemented?

Not an answer, as I thought I was just missing something too, but the dev answered this just a few days ago: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/discussions/60#discussioncomment-2622201

iOS is still a bit behind android, but it is in the works.

Thank you both for the response. I wish I could help but have no experience in coding.

Nice project.
Is there any ETA on download ability on iOS?

I don't mind taking a look. Do you have a remote Mac instance that I can use?

Nope, we don't have anything cool like that setup yet.

If you have the know how, you can use quickemu to stand up a Mac virtual machine.
https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu
There is also a GUI version that is built on top of quickemu.

I wish I could help, I just don't have the coding knowledge to do it.

Looks like this project might be able to access Mac hardware for free: https://www.macstadium.com/opensource

Planning to work on this over the upcoming weekend. Some notes for myself as I start the progress:

  • Track down the UI component the Android app uses for downloading
    • Is the component disabled on iOS?
    • What needs to be done to enable?
  • How does the Android app keep track of files that are downloaded?
    • What records are updated in a database?
    • Edge case: What happens when a download starts when playing?
    • Edge case: What happens if not all files are downloaded?
    • How are files deleted?
  • Is there an interface that abstracts files to the Android player so it doesn't care if it's local or server?
    • This should be in the shared library as iOS will want the same functionality
  • Where do we want to download on iOS?
    • Stubbed code shows downloading into the documents directory
    • Will this backup to iCloud? (We want to avoid this)
  • Does AVQueuePlayer and local files work with AirPlay?
  • How is the offline progress synced back to the server?
    • This includes the reverse, server progress when offline?
    • Who wins out if different progress was made? The furthest? Most recent?
