[jira] [Created] (CB-471) LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT "do not back
up" file attribute iOS
LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT "do not back up" file attribute iOS
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CB-471
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-471
Project: Apache Callback
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Lee Crossley
According to the developer documentation on Apple's website: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#qa/qa1719/_index.html
Starting in iOS 5.0.1 a new "do not back up" file attribute has been introduced allowing developers to clearly specify which files should be backed up. (com.apple.MobileBackup)
Persistance is easily achievable (LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT) but there seems to be no way of specifying if a saved file is not backed up to the iCloud or not.
Apps may be rejected by Apple (depending on the data) if the "do not back up" file attribute is not set.

-------------------------------------
@cristophe no, we don't absolutely guarantee any mapping to an iOS feature - so it's ok. We can possibly change this in 2.0, but we are not changing an already released API feature until a major version.

-------------------------------------
That new function wasn't there in the technote when I implemented this - Apple must have updated this recently. We definitely want to update the implementaton. Re-opening for 1.9.0.

Yes it will - that's why it was fixed. You'll have to set it through the API, for any file or folder that you want.

Lee Crossley commented on CB-471:
---------------------------------
Essentially, we should be able to specify if a file is to be backed up or not (possibly when calling window.requestFileSystem). In my workaround, I'm creating a directory, setting the attribute on it and saving files I don't want backed up in there.
There is also a problem with the way you back up web sqlite databases - is also backed up on iCloud. If non-critical data is stored in there this is incorrect and apps will be rejected. This should be configurable.

-------------------------------------
I second Lee's question. Will this fix the websql and localstorage backup issues? My app got rejected because of the automatic backup process saving files where iCloud backed them up. I am having to custom-build Cordova for now in order to add the NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute to the backup file.

christophe benoit commented on CB-471:
--------------------------------------
Though the name 'com.apple.MobileBackup' will be misleading as it won't actually be setting this parameter (or people will wonder if 1.9.0 is not using this deprecated feature). There also might be nuances between those two methods other than their primary goal (to say 'do not backup'), so the old name (com.apple.MobileBackup) will favour this misconception.
Don't you think the JS property name also should change to something more in the lines of 'NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey'? - there could also be a backward compability 'com.apple.MobileBackup' property still kept by cordova API, but defined as deprecated in the documentation.

--------------------------------------
Cool, thanks for looking into this.
For cordova users this might mean a different way of actually setting the preference, so it might be useful to add a note to the 1.8.x documentation about it (so that people using this new feature are warned about a future change).

Actually the JS interface will still be the same, it will be transparent to the user.

-------------------------------------
Then I assume I would just set the attribute on the Backups directory, right?
I need to resubmit my app for review ASAP. I have a custom build of Cordova that fixes the issue, but I'd rather submit with 1.8 if it's done on time. Any ideas as to when we might see 1.8?

--------------------------------------
I had a look at the first commit (CDVFile.m file) and it's using a now deprecated method to set the 'do not backup' attribute according to:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#qa/qa1719/_index.html
"Warning The code that follows has been deprecated and should only be used on iOS 5.0.1 or earlier. When running in iOS 5.1, apps should use the NSURL and CFURL keys described above."
I guess you want to keep backward compatibility with ios 5.0.1 and earlier, but in the case of iOS forward compatibility look more important as most devices are up to date. with iOS 6 coming soon, this fix looks already obsolete.
Wouldn't that be possible to use the new methods when available, and fallback to the old method if necessary?

I second Lee's comment. Will this fix the websql and localstorage backup issues? My app got rejected because of the automatic backup process saving files where iCloud backed them up. I am having to custom-build Cordova for now in order to add the NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute to the backup file.
