[jira] [Updated] (CB-5915) Change iOS filesystem root location
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5915?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Ian Clelland updated CB-5915:
-----------------------------
Description:
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.
