IOS & Android Bug Updates

[Vaughn Clement]

Hi

For the most part this answers the questions. I was not trying to delete
the user data, but preserve the data upon a new update.

I was told the "Document" folder was the place to put any app related
images and referenced docs to have them sustained in the app. I just needed
to understand that there is not a special process or scripts required to
protect the users added data from being deleted on an update.

Thank you

Vaughn Clement
