The iOS release notes list these locations as valid for files: home – the (unique) folder containing the application bundle and its associated data and folders documents – the folder in which the application should store any document data (this folder is backed up by iTunes on sync) cache – the folder in which the application should store any transient data that needs to be preserved between launches (this folder is not backed up by iTunes on sync) library – the folder in which the application can store data of various types. In particular, data private to the application should be stored in a folder named with the app's bundle identifier inside library. (this folder is backed up by iTunes on sync). temporary – the folder in which the application should store any temporary data that is not needed between launches (this folder is not backed up by iTunes on sync) > This seems a bit 'open' for login details - both in terms of accessibility > and the potential for the file to be deleted. Your app is sandboxed. Every iOS app that stores login details stores those details in one of the valid folders. > > Do I guess correctly that there is then additional LiveCode magic dust (that > I haven't learned about yet) which can be applied to the files to protect / > hide / encrypt them when in such a seemingly open folder? :-) You files are encrypted (as I recently discovered).
