All files on iOS are encrypted; there are just different levels of security of
the keys. The Apple white paper I posted a link to a few days ago goes into a
lot of detail; if you're interested in file security it's a must-read.
In CBLDatabase+Internal.m:
int flags = SQLITE_OPEN_FILEPROTECTION_COMPLETEUNLESSOPEN;
and CBLBlobStore has several places it applies the
NSDataWritingFileProtectionCompleteUnlessOpen attribute to attachment files.

Hm, that's really not the intention of this API, and I wouldn't use it for any
operation with external side effects because it's called by the puller before
the documents are added to the database, so there's a chance they might not get
added.

There's no native access to the changes feed, but you can create a view that
emits the document's sequence number as the key, and use that similarly. The
sequence number is available to a map function as the "_local_seq" property of
the document dictionary.
