I am creating a quiz style app for iOS using phonegap. The app allows users to create then take the quizzes.

Currently I am using a HTML 5 database using phonegap APIs to store the test and results data. I am concerned though that the database can now be deleted by iOS 5.1 when the device storage gets full.

Is there anyway to mark the webkit cache folder where the database is stored so that it is never deleted? If this is not possible are there any suggestions for another way to store data that will always be persistent.

    There is a fix for both issues with Webkit storage and iOS 5.1

    1. Storage moved from /Webkit to /Cache
    2. Storage is not adjusted to updated folder structure on an App update under iOS 5.1 (WebKit Bug)

    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-330

    This solution seems to be more safe than just changing the location of Webkit data calling a private API. While the App is running the Webkit storage locations are used. On resuming or terminating all data is backuped to the documents folder. Timestamps ensure that ab old backup cannot overwrite newer storage data (if the app crashes…).

    The best: Users that are on an older iOS Version using an App with that fix in it, will not suffer damage lost in case of any iOS updates. Thats why one should not wait…
