Have a read of 'file Attributes' on page 23 of the iOS release notes... If I understand this correctly, you can happily save your 'stuff' in the 'documents' folder and using the 'iphoneDoNotBackUpFile' function set a flag as to whether things should be backed up to icloud/itunes or not... be well Dixie > From: cmsheffi...@me.com > Subject: storing data on iOS devices > Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 09:13:10 -0600 > To: use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > > This has come up before on the list, but I haven't been able to find a > reliable location where I can store persistent data without it being backed > up to iTunes.
