Now, most examples floating around in the web demonstrates writing to the documents directory. What if I want to write files from my app but I don’t want the user to be able to see it via iTunes? I’m looking at the Files and Networking section of the iPhone OS Programming Guide and I’m unsure what would be a good alternative to the documents directory for writing files to hide from the user and not be rejected by Apple’s review team.
