I am calling a web services in an iOS application which returns a URL

  • 0

I am calling a web services in an iOS application which returns a URL to download a zip file of a book and its MD5 checksum. I would like to check the integrity of the file by calculating its MD5 checksum for comparison.

  1. How can I calculate it? The file is a .zip file and it is stored in Documents.
  2. The second question is: I would like to prevent files, such as books, htmpl files, from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes, I saw that there is a solution with iOS 5.1 and later but I would like to put my application to users with iOS 5.0. Is there a solution for this? Can I put the books downloaded in Cashes?
