christophe benoit commented on CB-471:
--------------------------------------
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?

>
> 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.
