@cabalowen - Fri Dec 09 2022 06:51:23 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)Thanks a lot for sharing this awesome piece of code. Learned a lot depending on this code. Hope to see this types of code in future also. Basically I have used some from this code on https://enterprise.affle.com/mobile-app-development
