When transferring data between Mac and iPhone/iPad, serializing via NSKeysedArchiver seems simple and easy. Wrapping up some "trivial" Objects like NSData, NSDictionary, NSNumber, NSString seems to work.
But the question is: is it considered safe to transfer data like that? How likely is this scenario going to fail? I imagine how a simple binary change makes everything crash; but given that there might be tons of Applications that store data in a similar fashion, this probably is just not going to happen. So I would need to worry about changes on one platform that generates compatibilty problems on the other. Have there ever been issues with that? It wouldn't be a big deal if I needed to package my data on my own, but this also opens room for bugs....
