Is it possible to not overwrite certain files when updating (upgrading) an app on iOS?
Hello! I'm in the process of creating an app for iOS. A part of the app relies on data that is collected as the user uses the app. This data is then stored in a .CSV file for easy storage, retrieval, and a small size even if it grows larger than expected. The data is really simple and easy to traverse, however it won't be stored on a remote database, and only locally on the user's device. I've read that updating the app doesn't overwrite the data of the current version, but instead places the new version of the app in a new directory entirely while the other, older version is then deleted. Is it possible to mark certain files to be transferred and not replaced entirely? I'd like to know if it's possible or not before I make the mistake and learn the hard way 😅 Also I'm open to any alternative ways to store such data that people may suggest! Thanks a lot in advance! Help is much appreciated Jack
