Two weeks ago I’ve read a strange article on the internet (russian), I didn’t understand clearly, but what I understand it says that Apple prohibited iOS developers from creating/modifying files in the Documents folder! We do it like this:

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

NSString *myPathDocs =  [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"myfile.txt"];

Is it true? Can anyone explain those new rules announced by Apple?

    You should read Apple’s file system programming guide for iOS. What I’m hearing is that files in the Documents directory are available to the user. If you’re putting private files there that aren’t truly documents (such as a word-processing document, an editable graphics document, etc), then you might need to use the Library directory instead.

    Specifically, you should read Determining where to store your app-specific files.
