The app that I’m creating is for a conference, so I have a schedule with all of our different sessions listed and the info for each session, etc. I want to allow speakers to upload materials (PowerPoints, pdfs, etc) that they want to be made available to attendees. I tried adding the file picker component, and it looks like I successfully uploaded a file, but how do I then get that uploaded file to display to the users? ---

It depends on the file type. You can use a web embed component to display documents like PDFs by setting the web embed to the URL of the uploaded file. Should work for other file types as well as long as they can be embedded. ---

Check this out, but for PDFs for example, you might want to test it on mobile devices to see if they can be displayed. I recall PDFs not being able to display past page 1 in Safari before. I haven’t tried PowerPoints.
