I started to write phonegap apps in xcode. I am writing update checker applications using an server. First I retrieved the application contents with json file in server. Then I need to reach iphone directory in order to compare with server whether this application is there or not. So, how to reach the iphone directory in phonegap. Thanks

    Use the File api: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.8.1/cordova_file_file.md.html#File
    You’ll need to update the Cordova.plist file:

    <key>Plugins</key>
<dict>
    <key>File</key>
    <string>CDVFile</string>
</dict>

<key>Plugins</key>
<dict>
    <key>FileTransfer</key>
    <string>CDVFileTransfer</string>
</dict>

    You can then use the DirectoryReader/FileReader API to check for your files. Note that iOS sandboxes applications meaning that you’ll only be able to see a slice of the file system that’s isolated to your application.
