[jira] [Commented] (CB-11802) BackupWebStorage "none" is not respected with wkwebview-engine

["Shazron Abdullah (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11802?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15475230#comment-15475230 ] 

Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-11802:
---------------------------------------

IndexedDB is the purview of WKWebView which is implemented by Apple. If they store it in ~/Library, it does get backed up. We have no control over this.

There is a misconception of what the BackupWebStorage property does. See:

There is a misconception on what this setting is.

This is solely for backing up your localStorage/websql storage of the WebView to workaround the changes by Apple in iOS 5.1 and greater, where they are not automatically backed up.

"cloud" means that they are backed up by iCloud. "local" means that it is not backed up by iCloud but backed up in Documents/Backups, with the "Backups" folder flagged to not be backed up by iCloud. "none" will not backup anything to anywhere.

The reason "local" saves in "Documents/Backups" is so that it will be backed up by iTunes, so that your app will have the localStorage/webSQL data available when you restore a backup.

If you store anything in Library or Documents (except Library/Caches), it will be backed up by iCloud. For the Cordova File Plugin, to use the Library/Documents folder but not sync it to iCloud, you use the specific extra filesystem: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/blob/master/README.md#ios

On a fresh new project, and examining the iCloud data for your app in Settings, you might see that it is enabled and that 0.7kb is being stored. This is your app's preferences file in Library/Preferences, since that does get backed up.

> My latest App-Version got rejected because the ~/Library/WebKit folder exists and gets backed-up (I'm saving a lots of Data in IndexedDB). Even though I specified "BackupWebStorage:none" and double checked that  `WebKitStoreWebDataForBackup` in NSUserDefaults is correctly set.
> I only tested iOS 9.3. It looks like a Bug to me.
