Re: where to save images so they won't be deleted ? - I'm using latest ios - cordova 1.7.0

What is the full path, just to check? It should never be deleted, as
per their guidelines if its in the Documents folder.

Re: where to save images so they won't be deleted ? - I'm using latest ios - cordova 1.7.0

Hi,

I can confirm the same - after an iOS update or 

an app update files that were previously stored in the 

PERMANENT storage area eg: 
file://localhost/var/mobile/Applications/{GUID}/Documents/1.jpg

After an update this file is no longer available.

After some testing: it seems that an update causes the 

app GUID to be recreated and so any existing files 
are no longer available. Eg: 

file://localhost/var/mobile/Applications/{This GUID is recreated}

This does not affect localStorage - that works fine. 

Help! We have a live app and this affects all users.

We are using the latest PhoneGap library: 2.1.0 and building via PhoneGap Build.

Appreciate your help on this,

Javed
