I am currently reading though this tutorial here
And in it he seems to be creating a plist file in the resources folder. then in the code he only ever uses that plist once to read from, then dynamically creates a new plist that he uses to store his values and read his value from in the future.
I would like to know if this is good or bad practice? shouldn’t he just be using the plist file he created in his resource files?
The PLIST that’s included in the app bundle’s resources cannot be written to—iOS’s sandboxing rules prevent apps from modifying themselves. If your app wants to store files, it has to do so in areas that the sandbox allows it access to, such as the Documents directory used in that sample.
