Edgar Canas commented on CB-330:
--------------------------------
@Shazron, new to this.. where do I file a feature request?
Yes the solution you have works as a intermediate, problem is as Emile
mentioned if the app is killed manually or even if the app dies or resets for
whatever reason you will loose whatever data you had done before the last
backup, since a backup will only be done when the apps gets closed/reopened.
Any type or reset that being soft or app reset it will overwrite the exiting
data with the previous backup, which is not a desired option. Is there a way
you can update the app so that it checks for modify time or something before
the data gets overwritten with an outdated backup?
The other option that I was looking at is to do a backup after every
transaction but my database is around 7-20mb so not sure how efficient/quick
would be do do frequent backups after any database change.

> 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.
