I think I have found a bug. The verifyAndFixDatabaseLocations is called on the first install, even if it's on iOS4.3.
The consequences are that the LocalStorage files are stored in the Caches folder, even if we run in iOS version before 5.1 (tested in the simulator in 4.3).

Is it normal?

> Dear Dev
> WebKit data (localstorage or local SQLite) are now stored in Library/ Caches folder (instead of Library/WebKit folder). This is a big problem for all apps using UIWebView and storing user data, because they will no longer be backed up and may be deleted. There are a lot of apps using localstorage or SQLite as a critical feature. 
> The SQLite database gets deleted because the database is saved in a location on the filesystem which Apple does not consider to contain persistent data.
> *Steps to Reproduce:* 
> In a UIWebView, create a new DB or use localStorage with JavaScript. 
> You can see that the WebKit data is now stored in Library/Caches :  
> *Expected Results:*
> We should at least specify the directory of WebKit data (and to set it 
> to Documents/ for critical data) 
> *Actual Results:* 
> The WebKit data are stored in Library/Caches folder, and can be 
> deleted 
> *Regression:*
> To migrate database location from Library/Caches to some other location such as Documents.
