             Summary: Change iOS filesystem root location
                 Key: CB-5915
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5915
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: iOS, Plugin File
            Reporter: Ian Clelland
            Assignee: Ian Clelland


iOS Persistent files are stored in an inconvenient place by default: The 
application's documents directory, which means that all files created are 
exposed by default in itunes.

Extensive discussion here: http://apache.markmail.org/thread/vlu55ppwkgh2bn56

There should be a single preference in config.xml for iOS persistent files. It 
can take one of two values (currently; additional values may be added later if 
we have better ideas)

{code}
<preference name="iosPersistentFileLocation" value="Documents" /> (Old location)

<preference name="iosPersistentFileLocation" value="Library" /> (New location)
{code}


"Library" will put persistent files under {{<Application Library Path>/files}} 
-- the extra {{/files}} means that other filesystem plugins can register roots 
at different places under {{<Application Library Path>}} which will not be 
visible to one another.
