I don't necessarily want these audio files to be backed up through iTunes, as the finished app may eventually contain hundreds of audio files (most likely in the form of downloadable packs of some kind), but they do need to be persistent between app launches.

Do I need to copy all the audio files into the simulated app's folder at /Users/[user]/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator?


Hello,

You can use the "Copy files" function of the standalone builder to put your files into the app.
