In my iPhone/iPad project, I’m showing some data from SQLite database. This database is under my Supporting Files folder in my Xcode project.
But my application also has a feature like “bookmarking” items. I intend to save “bookmarked” records by ID in a text file or whatever, then when user wants to see them, call the array in the text file and get the records from database.
But there’s a possibility that my application might need update later. I’ve been researching about it and I think I should use a web service to check the current version and notify the user that there’s a new version.
And also since the database is under my project folder, I expect the database to be modified too.
So far everything’s all right, but what about my text file that I store user’s bookmarked items’ id’s? Can I copy this outside of the folder so it doesn’t get updated when user installs the new version of the application? Otherwise all the bookmarked values will be re-set.
Btw if there’s any other effective version about releasing new versions and informing the user, I’m eager to hear. What I said is what I saw in related questions/answers.
When you install an app update only the apps bundle is update, all will files sorted by the app aren’t touched.
