Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-330:
-------------------------------------
@Edgar native db support is a good idea, please file a feature request - since
all platforms will need to support this, and we need to have a discussion
between all devs for this new feature.
The time to the next version being out (Mar 26th) is short, and adding a whole
new feature that people depend on, is not a trivial effort. This fix is for
people that need to get this fixed immediately (those that have apps already in
the App Store and users are already complaining). That's why I took the time to
make this a plugin that previous versions of Cordova could use as well.
This method does not lose data - if you see where the backup is done in the
code, it is done on app pause and terminate, and is synchronous.

> 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.
