Environment: iOS 5.01
PhoneGap (Any version)
Xcode 4

Dear Dev
WebKit data (localstorage or local SQLite) are now stored in Library/ Caches
folder (instead of Library/WebKit folder). This is a big problem for all apps
using UIWebView and storing user data, because they will no longer be backed up
and may be deleted. There are a lot of apps using localstorage or SQLite as a
critical feature.
The SQLite database gets deleted because the database is saved in a location on
the filesystem which Apple does not consider to contain persistent data.
*Steps to Reproduce:*
In a UIWebView, create a new DB or use localStorage with JavaScript.
You can see that the WebKit data is now stored in Library/Caches :
*Expected Results:*
We should at least specify the directory of WebKit data (and to set it
to Documents/ for critical data)
*Actual Results:*
The WebKit data are stored in Library/Caches folder, and can be
deleted
*Regression:*
To migrate database location from Library/Caches to some other location such as
Documents.
