iPhone Documents directory and UIFileSharingEnable

问题:

I want the user to be able to access the files in the documents directory but am using core data and dont want the user to be able to access the store (the sqllite db), can i hide it from the user while still allowing file sharing, or can i put it in another directory where it will still get backed up?

回答1:

The answer given by FrenchKiss Dev is not correct. The user will still be able to see the ".data" directory in iTunes and save that locally with all the files inside it.

Instead, store private documents in Library/Preferences

According to Apple:

In addition to the directories documented previously, the entire /Library directory has always been preserved during updates and backups, except for /Library/Caches. Because of this, applications can create their own directories in /Library/ and those directories will be preserved in backups and across updates. To minimize the risk of name collisions, we recommend that you name this directory carefully. For example, a directory named Private Documents would be a good choice. You should store any files you don't want to share to Library/Preferences.

回答2:

In the documents directory, create a subdirectory which name starts with a dot. For example:

.data

This answer was correct at the time (remember that it was before the iPad was actually available! And there was a lot of confusion on the matter, we were still hoping for the iPad to appear in the shared devices in the Finder...).
Today (April 2012) it is still working on the Mac but not on Windows (starting a directory name with a dot means nothing in Windows).

Anyway, this Shared Document feature is a mess. Later they fixed it by saying that "Private Documents" should be stored in the Library Folder not in the Documents folder. But remember that developers were already using the Document folder before the iPad came.
Don't blame me for Apple mistakes.
Stack Overflow should have a way to mark an answer as obsolete.
API changes, get fixed, and it renders answers obsolete.
