Michal Mocny commented on CB-1561:
----------------------------------
Samuel,
I really hope there will not be any data loss, I have tried to make sure all
upgrade paths are covered.
This most recent folder location change should not affect anyone, since the
folder location is already changing from 2.1 release -- this is just changing
the changed location -- unless you submitted an app using the git repo version
of cordova, you will not be affected.
As far as leaving the option to backup data to iCloud -- that option is not
possible for localstorage/websql, so I have not included a user setting for it.
Any data saved by your app into the users' documents folder will continue to
backup as you expect.

> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iOS
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.2.0
> Environment: - Cordova 2.0 on iOS
> Reporter: Clemens Wyss
> Assignee: Michal Mocny
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 2.2.0

>
> our App uses the Sotrage-API to store data which is being loaded upon first
> launch.
> The app is rejected given the following reasoning:
> 'Your app does not follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines, as required by the
> App Store Review Guidelines.
> Please be sure to set the "Do not back up" attribute for all data which is
> not generated or modified by the user. To check how much data your app is
> storing:
> - Install and launch your app
> - Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage
> - If necessary, select "Show all apps"
> - Check your app's storage
> The iOS Data Storage Guidelines indicate that only content that the user
> creates using your app, (documents, new files, edits, etc.) may be stored in
> the /Documents directory - and backed up to iCloud.
> Temporary files used by your app should only be stored in the /tmp directory.
> Please remember to delete the files stored in this location when the user
> exits the app.
> Data that can be recreated but must persist for proper functioning of your
> app or because customers expect it to be available for offline use should be
> appended with the "do not back up" attribute. For NSURL objects, add the
> NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute to prevent the corresponding file from
> being backed up. For CFURLRef objects, use the corresponding
> kCFURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute.
> For more information, please see Technical Q&A 1719: How do I prevent files
> from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?.
> Please revise your app so that it adheres to the iOS Data Storage Guidelines.'
> Is there a possibility to set this flag for the WebSQL Database file(s)?
> At least for us this is a blocker ...
