[jira] [Created] (CB-1561) Using Storage API - rejected by Apple
Clemens Wyss created CB-1561:
--------------------------------
Summary: Using Storage API - rejected by Apple
Key: CB-1561
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1561
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: iOS
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Environment: - Cordova 2.0 on iOS
Reporter: Clemens Wyss
Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
Priority: Blocker
our App uses the Sotrage-API to store data which is being loaded upon first launch.
The app is rejected given the following reasoning:
'Your app does not follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines, as required by the App Store Review Guidelines.
Please be sure to set the "Do not back up" attribute for all data which is not generated or modified by the user. To check how much data your app is storing:
- Install and launch your app
- Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage
- If necessary, select "Show all apps"
- Check your app's storage
The iOS Data Storage Guidelines indicate that only content that the user creates using your app, (documents, new files, edits, etc.) may be stored in the /Documents directory - and backed up to iCloud.
Temporary files used by your app should only be stored in the /tmp directory. Please remember to delete the files stored in this location when the user exits the app.
Data that can be recreated but must persist for proper functioning of your app or because customers expect it to be available for offline use should be appended with the "do not back up" attribute. For NSURL objects, add the NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute to prevent the corresponding file from being backed up. For CFURLRef objects, use the corresponding kCFURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute.
For more information, please see Technical Q&A 1719: How do I prevent files from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?.
Please revise your app so that it adheres to the iOS Data Storage Guidelines.'
Is there a possibility to set this flag for the WebSQL Database file(s)?
At least for us this is a blocker ...

----------------------------------
Taking a look into this one. Ideally we can change the local storage output path to something that isn't backed up by iCloud (though that does introduce issues with restoring current files after an upgrade).
Alternatively I will look into the possibility of flagging this data to not be backed up by iCloud (as has already been mentioned).

-------------------------------------
Michal,
I am sorry but I insist! WebSQL where stored in Library before iOS5.1 (this directory was backup by iTunes then iCloud). After iOS 5.1 Apple did the mistake to store the WebSQL files in the Cache folder, but phonegap made a fix to backup in the Document folder (again this folder is backup by iTunes and iCloud).
And yes, WebSQL is mostly used to store user generated data, so it needs backup. If you broke that, users will lost their precious data again.
And it's not possible to switch from WebSQL to FileSystem, WebSQL use complex SQL request...

-------------------------------------
Ok, sorry, you are right, WebKit/Databases for ios 5.0
With a large user base, you can be sure that every migration path will be used. I you don't want to handle that case, I will have to handle it in my AppDelegate.
I am also testing by moving folders across iOS simulator folder.
Thanks for your work Michal!

Samuel Michelot commented on CB-1561:
-------------------------------------
This is not about Apple policy but phonegap policy. WebSQL and localstorage are in the phonegap docs : http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.1.0/cordova_storage_storage.md.html#Storage
It's not written that the database and localstorage can't be used to store user generated data.
To fix this issue, you should add a setting to prevent the backup from iCloud in case that Storage is used to cache data, but you should not break all the other existing apps using Storage to store important data.
Thanks in advance Michal

Hi Michael,
Every data generated by the user must be backup by iCloud. Data has always been backup by iCloud or iTunes since the beginning of phonegap (Library, and Document folder are backup in iCloud, except the Cache folder). I think most of the phonegap apps store user data in localstorage or WebSQL. If it's not backup by iCloud, users will loose their data when they upgrade iOS or when they change their devices. I think LocalStorage and WebSQL should be backup by default, but phonegap should have an option to not backup LocalStorage/WebSQL if it's only used as a cache for data available on internet.
Please, don't break again localstorage.
Thanks,
Sam

----------------------------------
Samuel, I totally understand what you are saying -- but you are not understanding me -- It is Apple's policy, not cordova's or my decision, that is causing this issue.
We can do nothing about it.
Still, after all changes are made, I will let you know how to modify cordova to re-enable iCloud backup and you can take your chances with the review process.

And the migration from iOS 5.0 to iOS5.1 doesn't work either. The code should move the WebKit/LocalStorage to Caches/ folder.

Michal Mocny resolved CB-1561.
------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Marking this as fixed since the original scope of this bug is no longer being discussed.
If we think migration from 5.0 is still important, we can file another issue.
If we want more fine grained customization of cloud backup, and file api setMetadata is insufficient, we can file another issue.

Samuel Michelot commented on CB-1561:
-------------------------------------
Hi Michael,
Every data generated by the user must be backup by iCloud. Data has always been backup by iCloud or iTunes since the beginning of phonegap. I think most of the phonegap apps store user data in localstorage or WebSQL. If it's not backup by iCloud, users will loose their data when they upgrade iOS or when they change their devices. I think LocalStorage and WebSQL should be backup by default, but phonegap should have an option to not backup LocalStorage/WebSQL if it's only used as a cache for data available on internet.
Please, don't break again localstorage.
Thanks,
Sam

Databases are stored in the LocalStorage directory? I took the WebKit/Databases path right from the cordova 2.0 release that supported migration from 5.0 to 5.1.
Did migrating from 5.0 to 5.1 never work?

----------------------------------
Samuel, I've just downloaded ios5.0 simulator and I see websql stores in Library/WebKit/Databases/
My reading of the old migration patch suggests it never worked anyway, but I haven't tried it yet.
Either way, I'm not sure that migration from 5.0 is something that needs fixing. I will update the 5.1->6.0, however.

Michal : No, at least in the simulator, the location for WebSQL in iOS 5.0 is also WebKit/LocalStorage
I can't say if it's was working before, because I was using an older version of phonegap with a migration patch.

[jira] [Updated] (CB-1561) Using Storage API - rejected by Apple
Posted by "Michal Mocny (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1561?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Michal Mocny updated CB-1561:
-----------------------------
Attachment: disable_icloud_backup.diff
Attaching a patch, similar to yours, but handles ios 5.0 as well as 5.1+, and additionally changes the location on the backup directory (likely not needed, but is advised in docs, and at this point I'de like to be thorough).
Clemens: Because of the change of backup location, if I land this patch, you should not deploy your app as is or else you will have to support yet another legacy backup location.

Okay, it looks like the location for websql was WebKit/Databases folder in 5.0, changed to Caches in 5.1, and then to WebKit/LocalStorage in 6.0.
Working on confirmation (pulling 5.0 simulator), and updating plugin now.

This is not about Apple policy but phonegap policy. WebSQL and localstorage are in the phonegap docs : http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.1.0/cordova_storage_storage.md.html#Storage
It's not written that the database and localstorage can't be used to store user generated data.
And Apple will not reject apps that use Storage to store user generated data... (I have recent apps approved by Apple)
To fix this issue, you should add a setting to prevent the backup from iCloud in case that Storage is used to cache data, but you should not break all the other existing apps using Storage to store important data.
Thanks in advance Michal

Michal Mocny commented on CB-1561:
----------------------------------
Aaron,
You are correct, this is all or nothing. The feature you request is not supported, has not been, and would be difficult to do well given that the iOS6 UserDefaults value for cloud backup is also all-or-nothing.
However, I think there is another workaround for you: if you enable local-backup-only, then you can use the File API to reset metadata on the LocalStorage backups to re-enable cloud backup just for that. (NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey on Documents/Backups/{localstorage file or whichever you need} using File API's FileEntry.setMetadata function)
If the workaround is insufficient, please file a feature request, and patches are welcome for 2.3 release.

Hi Michal,
I found a bug, the migration from iOS5.1 to iOS6 doesn't work, because the file are moved to Webkit/Databases directory instead of WebKit/LocalStorage.
To fix the bug, just change the "Databases" refs to LocalStorage :
// ////////// WEBSQL MAIN DB
original = [targetDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:targetDirNests ? @"WebKit/LocalStorage/Databases.db":@"Databases.db"];
backup = [backupDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:(backupDirNests ? @"WebKit/LocalStorage":@"")];
...
// ////////// WEBSQL DATABASES
original = [targetDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:targetDirNests ? @"WebKit/LocalStorage/file__0":@"file__0"];
backup = [backupDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:(backupDirNests ? @"WebKit/LocalStorage":@"")];

Michal,
I am sorry but I insist! WebSQL where stored in Library before iOS5.1 (this directory was backup by iTunes then iCloud).

Michal,
I am sorry but I insist! WebSQL where stored in Library before iOS5.1 (this directory was backup by iTunes then iCloud). After iOS 5.1 Apple did the mistake to store the WebSQL files in the Cache folder, but phonegap made a fix to backup in the Document folder (again this folder is backup by iTunes and iCloud).
And yes, WebSQL is mostly used to store user generated data, so it needs backup. If you broke that, users will lost their precious data again.

Yes they landed, no there is nothing else that needs to be done -- except verification.
I do plan on adding 1 patch to replace some hard coded strings with constants but it shouldn't change functionality.
There was a report of an error with ios5.0.1 but I'm not sure how my patches can be the cause.

This should be fixed as of today: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cordova-ios.git;a=commit;h=6e170879aa37d33701739fc3c28ed9f78156bf1f
I've moved the backup directory into the Library folder and out of Documents. It's odd that in ios6 Apple actually gives the explicit option to save into documents and backup to iCloud these exact files, but we decided we didn't want to do that anyway.
Please let me know if this addresses you issue!
Also, I've tried to take care to make sure we restore any old databases from any old locations so all app upgrades work seamlessly, please let me know if I got anything wrong!

Michal : No, at least in the simulator, the location for WebSQL in iOS 5.0 is also WebKit/LocalStorage
I can't say if it's was working before, because I was using an older version of phonegap with a migration patch (if it's help, here is the code : https://gist.github.com/3975955 ), basically it's only copying from WebKit to Cache.

Michal,
I am sorry but I insist! WebSQL was stored in Library before iOS5.1 (this directory as always been backup by iTunes then iCloud). After iOS 5.1 Apple did the mistake to store the WebSQL files in the Cache folder, but phonegap made a fix to backup in the Document folder (again this folder is backup by iTunes and iCloud). And also Apple realize that it was a mistake that's why the introduce the "Do not back up" attribute for apps that do not need backups.
And yes, WebSQL is mostly used to store user generated data, so it needs backup. If you broke that, users will lost their precious data again.
And it's not possible to switch easily from WebSQL to FileSystem, WebSQL use complex SQL request...

-------------------------------------
Michael,
Thanks for answering. But please, localstorage and websql data are crucial for most of the apps, they really need iCloud backup, because it's data created by the users. Maybe you can speak with Shazron? he was working on that part after the iOS 5.1 bug.
Thanks,
Sam

Thanks Michal, but this is not about Apple policy but phonegap policy. WebSQL and localstorage are in the phonegap docs : http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.1.0/cordova_storage_storage.md.html#Storage
It's not written that the database and localstorage can't be used to store user generated data.
And Apple will not reject apps that use Storage to store user generated data... (I have recent apps approved by Apple)
To fix this issue, you should add a setting to prevent the backup from iCloud in case that Storage is used to cache data, but you should not break all the other existing apps using Storage to store important data.
Thanks in advance Michal

----------------------------------
I should add, I wrote the patch but am still working on varification. The test I was using was not writing enough data to the database to make a dent in iCloud storage either way. Going to write an app to puts a few megs of data in there, and try again.
In the mean time, if you can try to apply the patch to your app, that would be great to verify as well.

----------------------------------
5.1->6.0 should work properly now.
For some reason I was still getting proper backups locally even with the wrong patch -- I think that when you set the ios6 cloud backup user default it may automatically restore from the old location -- but the way I am testing is by moving folders around across ios simulator version app directories, not by actually upgrading.

Michal Mocny commented on CB-1561:
----------------------------------
Thanks for the patch, and curious how it goes this time.
I was under the impression iCloud only backed up files in the Documents folder, and I've moved the backups out into the Library folder, which is meant for app specific files (http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/FileSystemProgrammingGUide/FileSystemOverview/FileSystemOverview.html).
About Library folder: "This directory is the top-level directory for files that are not user data files. You typically put files in one of several standard subdirectories but you can also create custom subdirectories for files you want backed up but not exposed to the user. You should not use this directory for user data files."
I'll read further into this, and take a second pass as the ios6 changes, but I was not aware I needed to use NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey for files there.

----------------------------------
Found this note: "In iOS 5.0.1 and later, put support files in the <Application_Home>/Library/Application Support directory and apply the com.apple.MobileBackup extended attribute to them. This attribute prevents the files from being backed up to iTunes or iCloud. If you have a large number of support files, you may store them in a custom subdirectory and apply the extended attribute to just the directory."

-------------------------------------
Hi All,
Thanks for working on this issues. I am waiting for phonegap 2.2 to update my app, but I can't afford another user data loss, otherwise I will loose all credibility.
It's a pity that we have to change the backup location... Please, make sure to keep the option to backup the data in iCloud (if it's user generated data).
Thanks,

Michal Mocny commented on CB-1561:
----------------------------------
Those changes are not really optional, the 2.1 release had us saving LocalStorage for backup to iCloud, which in hindsight was a mistake.
Further, we were backing up to the Documents folder, which NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey or not, is not meant to store data other than specific user created content.
If you have specific concerns, please let me know.
Did you happen to check if the patch provided also solved your issue?

Michal Mocny commented on CB-1561:
----------------------------------
Samuel, This bug is specifically filed requesting to NOT backup localstorage/websql files to iCloud (or rather the local backups).
== As an aside ==
There *is* a new ios6 feature to request localstorage backup to iCloud, which was "incorrectly" enabled in cordova 2.1, which I've changed back to disabled for 2.2.
If some app developers like you really do want to backup to iCloud, then I can add a setting for it, but to be clear that would only work for ios6 anyway.
More importantly, I am not sure that syncing these files will release achieve what you expect. We had a discussion on the cordova mailing list if it made sense to backup these files to iCloud, and the answer was no -- but there was not really much debate or data here, and perhaps we should revisit the issue. What are your specific reasons for wanting this, so that we can consider them?

----------------------------------
migration from ios5.0 to 5.1 was not added -- this wasn't supported before either.
I did add migration from 5.1 to 6.0 which is currently relevant. Is there any reason anyone is still on 5.0 and will be upgrading?

Aaron Moman commented on CB-1561:
---------------------------------
It looks like the new configuration is all or nothing. Meaning both local storage and WebSql databases are iCloud, local or no backup, but you can't have separate settings for local storage and databases. Is that correct? If so, can you change it so that each are configurable separately? I have data that needs to be backed up in local storage, but a database that shouldn't be backed up.
Sorry to make this even more complicated than it already is...
Thanks,
Aaron

Michal Mocny commented on CB-1561:
----------------------------------
Samuel,
Localstorage was never directly backed up to iCloud before ios6, and while we did accidentally backup a COPY of localstorage (was only intended to be a local backup), apps are now apparently starting to get rejected by apple app review for doing this, so that needs to be disabled.
No one wants to break Localstorage, and we are re-evaluating whether to enable icloud backup on ios6 for other reasons, but if you want to have user data backed up to iCloud, we suggest using the FileSystem API. Localstorage is not considered data generated by the user.

[jira] [Commented] (CB-1561) Using Storage API - rejected by Apple

----------------------------------
Samuel,
I really hope there will not be any data loss, I have tried to make sure all upgrade paths are covered.
This most recent folder location change should not affect anyone, since the folder location is already changing from 2.1 release -- this is just changing the changed location -- unless you submitted an app using the git repo version of cordova, you will not be affected.
As far as leaving the option to backup data to iCloud -- that option is not possible for localstorage/websql, so I have not included a user setting for it. Any data saved by your app into the users' documents folder will continue to backup as you expect.

Hi Michael,
Every data generated by the user must be backup by iCloud. LocaStorage/WebSql files have always been backup by iCloud or iTunes since the beginning of phonegap (Library, and Document folder are backup in iCloud, except the Cache folder). I think most of the phonegap apps store user data in localstorage or WebSQL. If it's not backup by iCloud, users will loose their data when they upgrade iOS or when they change their devices. I think LocalStorage and WebSQL should be backup by default, but phonegap should provide an option to not backup LocalStorage/WebSQL on the case where it's only used as a cache for data available on internet.
Please, don't break again localstorage.
Thanks,
Sam

[jira] [Reopened] (CB-1561) Using Storage API - rejected by Apple
Posted by "Clemens Wyss (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Clemens Wyss reopened CB-1561:
------------------------------
Our app was still rejected. Same reasoning
"In particular, we found that on launch and/or content download, your app still stores 6.06 MB. To check how much data your app is storing:
- Install and launch your app
- Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage
- If necessary, tap "Show all apps"
- Check your app's storage
The iOS Data Storage Guidelines indicate that only content that the user creates using your app, e.g., documents, new files, edits, etc., should be backed up by iCloud.
Temporary files used by your app should only be stored in the /tmp directory; please remember to delete the files stored in this location when the user exits the app.
Data that can be recreated but must persist for proper functioning of your app - or because customers expect it to be available for offline use - should be marked with the "do not back up" attribute. For NSURL objects, add the NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute to prevent the corresponding file from being backed up. For CFURLRef objects, use the corresponding kCFURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute.
"
Looking at your patch:
you are not making use of the NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute, are you?

Michael,
Thanks for answering. But please, localstorage and websql data are crucial for most of the apps, they really need iCloud backup, because it's data created by the users. I have more than 16 apps using WebSQL in iTunes, and I never get rejected because of space on iCloud. Maybe you can speak with Shazron? he was working on that part after the iOS 5.1 bug.
Thanks,
