I have an existing app which uses a JSON-based file format currently saved to Application Support (so not user visible). It only needs a single data store per-user.
I would like to integrate it with iCloud to make this file available on other devices.
Is it considered acceptable to use UIDocument
on its own for loading/saving the single file?
By this I mean without using UIDocumentBrowserViewController
or another file picker. Just my app loading right into the main UI but using UIDocument
to open/read/save/close the data file.
I am hoping this would allow me to let UIDocument
do most of the boilerplate work around NSFileCoordinator
and NSFilePresenter
.
Can anyone confirm if this is a thing that is known to be OK? Or am I going against the frameworks here?
