Question

I am currently developing an application using Phonegap / Jekyll / Backbone. I am however in the need for a base path for my generation of static content. For Android platforms I use /android_asset/www/ which is working fine. I am however unable to find one for iOS, anyone has any idea about it?

Thanks in advance.

You have to asynchronously ask the iOS device to give you the root path. In deviceready function call:

window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, onFS, null);

When ready it will callback with a FileSystem object from which you can access the full root path.

function onFS(fs) {
    alert(fs.root.fullPath); 
}
