Dean, hopefully this helps a little: http://docs.xamarin.com/ios/tutorials/Working_with_the_File_System#Application_Directories
you are correct, anything embedded in your app is in the 'app bundle', which is readonly on the device. there are a few other folders available for you to store data - in your case i think /Library/ makes more sense than /Documents/ finally (and don't quote me on this), i *think* i read somewhere that notification sounds _do_ need to be in the app-bundle ~ the only way to ensure they are definitely available. i could be wrong (frequently am) hth cd On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 3:19 PM, Dean Cleaver < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi,**** > > ** ** > > Because of the 20MB limit on app size for download over mobile broadband, > we’re trying to reduce the size of our app. One easy win is to remove the > 5MB of sound files from the app, and download them on first run of the app. > **** > > ** ** > > Currently they’re in a “Sounds” folder, but I presume that location will > be read only on the device?
