Open an .asice file on iPhone today
- In Mail, touch and hold the attachment and choose Save to Files. Pick a folder such as Downloads.
- Open Safari and go to asiceviewer.com.
- Tap the box, choose Choose File and select the container.
- Read the document and scroll to see the signers.
The same steps work on iPad, where you can also drag the file from the Files app onto Safari in Split View.
From other apps
| Source | How to get the file into Files |
|---|---|
| Touch and hold → Save to Files | |
| Gmail app | Tap the attachment → share icon → Save to Files |
| WhatsApp, Messenger | Tap the document → share icon → Save to Files |
| iCloud Drive from a Mac | Already there |
Add to Home Screen
In Safari, tap the share icon and choose Add to Home Screen. ASiCE Viewer gets an icon next to your apps and opens full screen, without the address bar.
What works on iOS
PDF, Word, Excel, image and text previews work in Safari as on a computer. Signer details and the integrity check are the same. The container stays on the phone; nothing is uploaded.
The native iPhone app: coming soon
A native ASiC-E Viewer for iPhone and iPad is in preparation. We will announce it on this page when it is available in the App Store. Until then, the Safari route above is the recommended one.
Android users can install today
If you or a colleague use Android, the ASiC-E Viewer app on Google Play is available now, free of charge.
Signing on iPhone
To sign rather than read, use the official RIA DigiDoc app for iOS with Mobile-ID or Smart-ID.
Common iOS hiccups
- The file is greyed out in the picker. Choose Browse and navigate to the folder; iOS sometimes filters unknown types in the Recents view.
- The attachment opens as text. Do not use Quick Look; save to Files instead.
- Nothing happens after choosing the file. Reload the page and try again; make sure Safari is up to date.
The Mac version of this guide is ASiC-E viewer for Mac.
