Data persistence when ios app is updated

I'm saving files in AMF format in the application storage directory (app-storage:/). This works great, but the fles get deleted when the application is updated.
I'm dsitributing the app internally in the company via our intranet (ad-hoc). The users do not delete the app, they simply redownload the new version.
Where do I have to save the files in the iOS device so that they are not deleted when the application is updated?
Thanks

I know with shared objects if you install an app, save some data then install a newer version via flash all data is erased if you however update the app through the app store the data is saved, for your situation this is not possible since its an internal app. You can save the data externally to a server this way every time the app launches it could check for the correct data but of course this is much more troublesome and time consuming.

  • HT201299 Not enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS apps and features from setting? I keep it off but when I go to other app it on automatic

    I can't  enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS apps and features from  setting.
    When I off data for specific application and go to other option it automatic on all application
    Any one can help

    SOLUTION! (NO NEED TO RESET YOUR IPHONE SETTING!)
    I have the same issue for the last two weeks. But i have already managed to solve the issue all by myself. When i go to Settings > Cellular > below the tab "use cellular data for:", i turned off some apps which i didnt want to use with cellular data. As soon as i go back to Settings, and then i went back to Cellular, the apps which i had switched off earlier, automatically turned back on.
    Here's the solution:
    Either you're using wifi or cellular data, first of all you're gonna hafto turn on the cellular data use for App Store. Once you have turned it on, go to App Store application. Update ALL the apps which have new updates available. If it asks you to log in your App Store, just do so. If there's something wrong with your debit or credit card information, it will ask you to update to a different card. Just do what it asks. Put in a new credit or debit card info and fill in the forms provided. The card you're using must be usable and has usable balance in it. Let's say atleast $10 to $20. As soon as it confirms your card successfully, the app updates will start automatically. Continue to update all the apps. After all updates are finished, go back to Settings > Cellular. Try to switch on or off some apps for data use and recheck.
    Try it yourself! Have a nice day and don't put a blame on Apple for this.

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • IOS app store updates won't work

    What happens is this:
    The App Store icon shows that an update is available for some app. When I tap on it, then select Updates (so I'll know which app needs updating), it says all apps are up to date!
    This happens on the iPad and jPhone both. iOS 6.0.1.
    Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?

    Well if it works OK elsewhere then I would be inclined to think that the Router is the point of failure. This is what I would do.... Check the supplier for any firmware upgrade. Then I would be inclined to run a backup on the configuration then reset the router and then power it off and on and then logon as the administrator setup the same configuration as it used to be [backup and restore]. Get the iPhone to forget the network or you can reset the Network Settings/General/Reset/Network Reset which is probably a better option. Power everything OFF [cold start] Power up the Modem first then the router and then the iPhone connect to the network. On the router set the IP lease for the iphone to never expire. If that does not work see if you can borrow another router and set it up at your location and see if that works. Good Luck..

  • Wrong dates shown in iPad app store updates list

    The dates listed for the app updates in my iPad's app store are wrong! They used to show the date of each app's most recent update, but now they show each app's ORIGINAL availability date. My iPod, on the other hand, doesn't have this problem. What's the deal? When looking at the updates list, the "updated" date is much more useful than the app's original date. Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it?

    I talked to Tech support they told me to go into my time and date settings change to manual setting and set the date and time forward to a random time (several months ahead worked for me)  updates will clear then go back to automatic time.  It is bizzare but it has worked for me.  I certainly do not want or need to see all my updates I hope Apple will change this silly feature.

  • "err = -43" when downloading app store updates

    Help,
    I added a NAS a few months ago, and use that to store my iTunes library. Since then, whenever I have app store updates, I usually get ~50-75% rate of receiving an error message when auto-downloading updates. The process runs through, but many of the apps receive this error, and many other apps go through the entire downloading process, but iTunes still shows them as needing updates afterward, requiring another full download.
    I'm fairly certain this has to do with my NAS, but am hoping someone can help me understand what settings/configuration could help to minimize the occurrence of this issue.

    Try deleting the partial cached downloads in the iTunes media folder.
    That error is outlined here -> iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~)  refers to your Home directory.
    Windows  Vista:
  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows  7:
  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows  XP:
  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My  Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.

  • IOs apps not updating after changing country

    Hi all,
    This has been an issue for a while that I have ignored but can no longer.  I originally began using an iPhone and iPod touch several years ago in the US.  3 years ago I moved to Canada, and since then have noticed that apps purchased while I had a USA iTunes account will not longer update unless they are on my device (ie, no updates offered thorugh iTunes).  Once moving to Canada and switching financial info from USA to Canada, and subsequently changing the country of my iTunes store (as I was forced to for via the required credit card for an iTunes account) the original USA apps will not update.  I realize this is going to be an even bigger problems on moving back to the USA here in a few months as all my Canadian apps will no longer update.  What is the solution.  All apps have been purchased under the same iTunes account, the only thing that has changed is the country of the iTunes store (all apps are available in both countries also so that is not the cause).
    Thank you

    Not my issue. Many apps do update fine. 5 pesky ones are being difficult and refuse to update. Tried on various wifi networks with same result. Other applications do update. All the latest as far as iOS is concerned although sadly I am still using an iPad 2.
    What is the same is only that a number of my applications in the App Store fail to update on my iPad 2.

  • Trigger popup when iOS app is suspended?

    I have an app that is suspended on an iPad home button being pressed so it doesn't exit completely.
    I would like the app to be able to trigger a popup on the iPad every few hours if some action is pending. Is that possible? I know how to trigger PUSH notifications from a server if connected but what I am after is if the app goes into suspend mode (Home button has been hit) and some action hasn't occured yet then the user gets a daily reminder that they need to do something. This is if the iPad has no connection to the outside world so needs to be triggered from the suspended app rather than using the PUSH notification from a server?
    Any ideas on how to achieve this would be greatly recieved,
    cheers,
    Lins.

  • IOS 6.1.2 - "Request Timed Out" - iOS App Store Updates

    Since upgrading my iPhone 5 and iPad mini to iOS 6.1.2, the "Updates" tab of the App Store no longer loads. It shows a blank screen for a long time and sometimes then shows a popup "The request timed out". The badge count over the App Store icon still shows a number, both on the home screen and over the "Updates" tab icon in the App Store.
    I have tried restarting, and on both wifi and cellular. The rest of the App Store appears to work and load normally.
    One or two tweets on this but not much else so thought I'd start a topic. Anyone else got this?

    I have the same problem as the original poster, running an iPad 2 with the latest iOS updates. The proposed solution (the problem seems to have just gone away for some users) does not hold true for me.
    I have closed and re-started the App Store app, to no avail. Also, the rest of the app store is available, just not updates. The app badge shows that nine updates are available, but clicking on the Updates tab always results in a wait of several minutes, and then a message that "The request timed out" with no further information.
    Next I will try re-starting the iPad itself. Since many, many others are having the same issue, I would suspect Apple is aware of the problem, despite the customary lack of acknowledgement.

  • IOS App Store update loop

    I was trying to down load a new app from the iPad App Store. It was called Cards from Apple. Before it downloaded I was told Apple had updated its policies regarding the App Store. That I had to read the changes and click agree. I followed the instructions. Read all 42 pages and had them sent to my email. I then clicked agree.  Then I click done. When it began to attempt the download it told me the policies in the App Store have change,  I had to read the changes and click agree. I have done this ten times and am still stuck in a loop.  I turned off the iPad and tried it again, same loop.  Any suggestions?  I am not at home so I can't download the app from the iTunes Store and agree to the changes from there.
    Gerald

    It's apples ends problem, I'm same as you. They just fixed this loop issue. Try that one last time, and you should be good. ;)

  • IOS app for update to Pages won't open

    I just updated Pages for the iPad.  After updating the app, it appeared with a blue dot next to it and the app would not open. I deleted the app and reinstalled a number of times and it still won't open--so I know that's not the solution. Any ideas besides making an appointment with the Genius people?
    Thanks.

    Perform a "reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
    Then test to see if it solved the problem.
