> iOS Persistent files are stored in an inconvenient place by default: The application's documents directory, which means that all files created are exposed by default in itunes.
> Extensive discussion here: http://apache.markmail.org/thread/vlu55ppwkgh2bn56
> There should be a single preference in config.xml for iOS persistent files. It can take one of two values (currently; additional values may be added later if we have better ideas)
> {code}
> <preference name="iosPersistentFileLocation" value="Compatibility" /> (Old location)
> <preference name="iosPersistentFileLocation" value="Library" /> (New location)
> {code}
> "Library" will put persistent files under {{<Application Library Path>/files}} -- the extra {{/files}} means that other filesystem plugins can register roots at different places under {{<Application Library Path>}} which will not be visible to one another.
