Mobile write to text file woes

I have a little app It works and makes me smile It reads text data in a snap But won't write with "Can't open file" The path is set the same for both The file is in the bundle So why can't I write to the file it reads? Mutter, mumble, grumble, grumble... Hugh Senior

Re: Mobile write to text file woes

On the pretense of increased security, more and more OSes are incorporating various levels of Sandboxing. Eventually it seems, you will only be able to write to the users Documents folder and no where else. I'd don't know what OS and version you are on, but I am not surprised you can not write,
