Storing data on iOS

[Ralph DiMola]

Jacque,

I'm storing an SQLite db in the documents folder so the Android and iOS code
is the same. The db is static until an update. The update will replace the
entire db with new data. There is also 2 other dbs in the doc folder. One db
hold the registration info and the other is notes the user can save and is
linked to the replaceable db. I am now waiting for the second round from the
Apple approvers, but they did not complain about the db in doc folder when
the first submission was rejected. I got rejected for a registration code
instead of a username/password card.  The app is now "waiting for
approval"....again. The db data is not available for update anywhere except
for an app update. I hope this db in the docs folder will not be a problem
for us in the future.

For those who have gone before me:

I have some files that are downloaded from a server and stored on the
device. The files will be updated periodically. I don't want to download
them repeatedly unless they've changed.

Apple says not to store data in the documents folder if it can be retrieved
from elsewhere. That makes me think I should keep it in the cache folder.
But I'd rather it was backed up so the user doesn't need an internet
connection if they want to use the app and the cache has been wiped.

Where would you store the files?
