Getting safari history from phone

问题:

I'm creating a custom browser application.
apart from the sites visited from my browser, i'd like to show the history of the sites visited from safari browser as well. From my application, can I get the history of the web sites visited from safari browser on iphone or ipod or ipad?

回答1:

Simply put NO, you can't access the Safari History. Apps are sandboxed.

If this is for an in-house app, then you could jailbreak the phones and go around the sandboxing like so -

We can find the history.plist in /var/mobile/Media/Safari/ and this we can read in jailbreaken iPhone.

Update:

see this SO link: How to access iPhone Safari History in an App?

回答2:

Simply put, you cannot. The history is stored in a property list outside of your applications sandbox and you cannot access it.

On the jailbroken side, there is a History.plist located at /private/var/mobile/Library/Safari

回答3:

You can't. There is NO API to access Safari's browsing history.

I got it. Please follow following path then you will retrieve Browser history for iOS7 iPhone.

/private/var/mobile/Applications//Library/Safari/History.plist

In iOS7 safari app not a system app. When you open Applications folder then you can find history and other plist files.
