----------------------------------
iOS
(http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/FileSystemProgrammingGUide/FileSystemOverview/FileSystemOverview.html)
*Application Bundle*
- [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]
- Read-only
*<Application_Home>/Documents*
- For user-data.
- Backed up by iCloud, where each file is shown as an entry.
*<Application_Home>/Documents/Inbox*
- Can't create or write files, but *can* delete & read files.
- Used for receiving files from Mail.app
*<Application_Home>/Library*
- Backed up by iCloud unless com.apple.MobileBackup attribute is set.
- All files shown as a single entry in iCloud
*<Application_Home>/Library/Application Support*
- Same as /Library it looks like...
*<Application_Home>/Library/Caches*
- Not backed up by iCloud
*<Application_Home>/tmp*
- Not backed up by iCloud
- Get this via NSTemporaryDirectory() (it's /var/folders/ when on simulator)
<Application_Home> == /var/mobile/Applications/<app id>/. Retrieve it with
NSHomeDirectory()
PERSISTENT ==> <Application_Home>/Documents
TEMPORARY ==> <Application_Home>/tmp
> Add property returning root path of PhoneGap files

> Key: CB-285
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-285
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CordovaJS
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Environment: Both PhoneGap SDK and PhoneGap Build
> Reporter: Ashley Gullen
> Assignee: Andrew Grieve
> Labels: features
>
> There needs to be a property in PhoneGap that returns the root path to the
> general files added to the PhoneGap project (i.e. the directory index.html is
> in). For example, if I add 'music.mp3' to my project, in Android it will be
> located in:
> /android_asset/www/music.mp3
> On iOS after being built with PhoneGap Build it will be located in some path
> like this:
> /var/mobile/Applications/<app_ID>/<name>.app/www/music.mp3
> However, there does not appear to be a programmatic way to determine both
> <app_ID> and <name>.app.
> This has two side effects:
> 1. Paths to audio for Media must be hard-coded separately depending on the
> platform, which is inconvenient.
> 2. Paths to audio for Media cannot be known if developing a framework that
> uses PhoneGap. Since a framework does not know the App ID or name in
> advance, it's impossible for the framework to determine the correct path.
> This is actively blocking audio from working on iOS in PhoneGap projects
> exported by Construct 2 (www.scirra.com), a HTML5 game creator. Also, it
> seems like kind of an important function to make available anyway, since
> hard-coding paths for each platform is a pain.
