Uploading Files

Native mobile platforms support a method for uploading a file. You provide a path to the local file to be uploaded, the name or title of the file, and a description. If you know the MIME type, you can specify that as well. The upload method returns a platform-specific request object that can upload the file to the server. When you send this request to the server, the server creates a file with version set to 1.

Use the following methods for the given app type:
