plist under The Library folder

Question

A Snapchat username appears on an iPhone 6s plist file under /Library/Preferences/ with the follwing path:

iPhone/Applications/group.snapchat.picaboo/Library/Preferences/group.snapchat.picaboo.plist : 0x2C198 (Size: 192083 bytes)

My question is:

Is it possible that this username name appears in the plist because the owner of the phone have searched and sent an add request to this username using his own account on Snapchat on that phone?

I believe Applications running under iOS file systems can within their sandbox use the plist under The Library folder to keep files that are not essentially user data files (hence not their username they use on Snapchat) and that user data are placed in a separate plist file under /Documents/.

Please advise / Confirm. Thank you

Answer 1

Can you explain more about the context of your question? It seems likely

group.snapchat.picaboo

is the identifier of a shared app group. Access to shared app groups is restricted by the system (each app group is associated with a specific team and only apps from that team have access to the group). Are you working on an app with access to the group? If not, how are you accessing this data at all?
