I have a couple of questions about how to properly implement data protection for my iOS apps. I couldn't find very much information about how the AppID Entitlement and it's default then relates to the options that you set when you write a file using NSFileManager or NSData writetofile. If you don't have the data protection entitlement on for your AppID, does this mean that adding NSDataWritingFileProtectionComplete to your code will not provide any protection?If you do have the data protection entitlement enabled in your AppID, and you have set that entitlement to Protected Until First User Authentication, is this the default level of protection? Can you still choose a higher level of data protection like NSDataWritingFileProtectionComplete for particular files?Thanks
