Which classes / frameworks must I look at? I don’t want to use 3rd party libs, so just plain old, boring default solutions to read / write text files and stuff like that… Is there something like a File IO framework?

I only know 2 ways to read/write to the disk in iphone:
1/ NSUserDefaults: really restricted to some data type only. Look at it here:
A tutorial on NSUserDefault
NSUserDefault Class Reference
2/ NSCoder: you will encode your data and save it to hard disk then you can initWithCoder to get data back. Look at here:
A good article to begin with
NSCoder Class Reference
Archive and Serialization
Just read again that you want to do a text file, so NSFileHandle is also a good choice for you, you can look at here.
3/ NSFileHandle.
There is a FILE IO part here
