RussianQuestion
I have an app that lets user record their own audio. By now I'm saving those files into Documents directory. My question is: if I will release a new version of that app, will user recorded files get deleted?
Is there a better place to store user generated audio files?
Should I use NSUserDefaults for data that stay even after app upgrade?
thx
Solution
NSUserDefaults is used for storing settings (objects of Key-Value Coding compliant classes) Other data such files you should store in Documents folder, wich survive between updates (if you don't delete it yourself, of course :)
OTHER TIPS
Both the Documents directory and NSUserDefaults survive application updates. Choosing which to use depends on the kind of your data.

No.

No.

Only if your data is small.
