    I want to make a app-reader demo by Unity, a Simple Book Reader for only me, but i don't know how import file(audio, image, etc..) via Itunes, like that:

    Someone can tell me the keyword, toolkit or something else, thank you very much.

    I think they are all in Documents folder, so you can read them from here:
    Code (csharp):
    1. string path =Application.dataPath.Substring(0,Application.dataPath.Length-5);
    2. path = path.Substring(0, path.LastIndexOf('/'));
    3. path = path + "/Documents/"+yourfile;

    Thanks pro, you're so thoughtful. By the way, can you explain your code? What is "yourfile"? Ex: i'm add two images: "image1.jpg", "image2.png". How can i show on screen. Sorry for my broken english.

    Code generates a path to documents folder, where all the images from itunes.
    yourfile is the file you want to get. So in your case it would be, for example "image1.jpg".

    Then when you know that path you will have to read all bytes from that file using eg. this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.readallbytes(v=vs.110).aspx

    Then when you have all the bytes you will need to load them into the image using Texture2D.LoadImage(bytes[]);
