[iPhone] App Updates: do the user's files remain in tact?

I have an application in the App Store that creates a database on the user's device (in my app's sandbox, of course). Has there been any indication of whether files in the app's sandbox will remain in tact when an update is applied? My application involves the user entering a lot of information over time and it would not be acceptable for this to be deleted every time there is an update, nor do I really want to implement an entire device-to-computer file syncing mechanism just so I can support updating my app.

From Karen Spann;
"Here's what worked for me..  I had several apps hanging ( waiting to update ) on a iPhone 5. 
1) UNGROUPED any apps that are grouped into single icon ( here may be a named for this )
2) select the app, it will clear
3) return to the Apple Store app and "update" your apps"
This worked for me. I had Angry Birds Star Wars grouped together with several other games.
I could not update it.
I ungrouped the App. Selected it on the home page.
And it was able to update.
Thanks Karen!

  • Error while downloading iPhone app updates

    Yesterday I tried to download two iPhone app updates. The app store showed the two updates that were available, but when I tried to update them, it kept giving me an error message saying that my iTunes store request could not be completed. I am up to date on iPhone, iTunes, and OS X software, so I don't know why it did this. I had no problem downloading the updates directly to my iPhone. Any ideas? I did catch my wife a few weeks ago plugging her iPhone into the Mac while I was logged in (we have separate user accounts on the computer). I immediately ejected it from iTunes and unplugged it. I didn't notice any changes after that, either in my iTunes library or on her iPhone. Did this make any changes that I may not have noticed? Also, this past weekend I purchased some music in my iTunes account and had no problems downloading it and syncing it to my iPod.
    Edit: I guess I should have seen the Error 5002 thread. That is what mine is doing. Itunes account set for 1-click. No problem on iPod, just on iPhone apps.

    I'm having the same problem. The download finishes and then it says an unknown error occurred. It says it has something to do with my network connection, but I don't think that's the problem.
    Did you find a solution yet?
    I tried to reinstall iTunes but it didn't work.

  • Cannot submit app update - "Error The submission can only contain one appx or one appxbundle."

    I'm trying to submit my app update to the store and I get the following error:
    Error
    The submission can only contain one appx or one appxbundle.
    So I thought I should maybe utilize the "Delete" option to allow me to submit an updated appx or appxbundle (since these are the only file types that App Studio allows us to build). However, when I do, I get the
    following message:
    Can't delete this package
    You must have at least one 8.1 package in your submission.
    ... So I'm basically stuck. Can't delete to upload a new one. Can't upload a new one because there's one already there. It would be nice if you could automatically sunset the old appx/appxbundle package in favor of the new
    one.
    Update: Solved! Solution below.

    Since this is still an issue, shouldn't it be escalated for a fix so that the page works on any modern browser?
    I see two independent problems here:
    - Hitting Delete should work, not bash the user with a "You must have at least one 8.1 package in your submission." message (i.e. allow the developer to delete and then add a new file, if so desired). After all, when making the initial submission
    we are in the same situation (no file yet), so it can't be that bad, as long as this is checked for at a later stage.
    - Show that Replace button which seems to be hiding! If it is a Silverlight issue, why require Silverlight in the first place?
    P.S.: I am experiencing this with IE (no Replace button, Windows 8.1 x64 and latest updates).

    You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
    but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

  • What's updated in the User Guide?

    Does anyone know what was specifically updated in the User Guide?
    (Is there a PDF comparison tool? I do have the original Guide saved on my desktop.)

    My iPhone was stolen a few days ago. It appears to be offline on the Find My iPhone app. If the person who has it turns it on only for a brief moment and then turns it off immediately, will the location still be found? Once it returns to being offline will the location still be sent to me? And also, how can I retrieve my pictures from my iCloud?

    Anything is possible.

  • My icloud account on my new iphone does not match the user ID for itunes as it is an old apple ID. There is no password for this ID so I cant change it and it wont let me change the apple ID. Any help?

    my icloud account on my new iphone does not match the user ID for itunes as it is an old apple ID. There is no password for this ID so I cant change it and it wont let me change the apple ID. Any help?

    To change to iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID then sign in with the new ID.  If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I had over 200 e-mails.  I went to my webmail and deleted most of them.  However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails.  How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server?  Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well?  Thanks.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    I cannot export projects from GB in my MacBook into GB on my iPad3; nor can I export from IPad to my MacBook. I have tried going onto Apps update on the MacBook, but there were none available. I have read that this omission is to be corrected - can you confirm this is intended to happen, or is it already in process. While awaiting for this essential development, can you please suggest any way of transferring information either way?

  • Where is the user.js file in my profile directory?

    I need to use Rich Text editor for work in echalk so I can cut, paste, copy, etc. I followed your support instructions at mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/securityprefs.html and http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles. I was able to find the profile directory, but there is no user.js file to enter the "allowclipboard" code into. Where is this file? I could not make a new one.

    The mozilla.org page you referenced tells you ''if there's no user.js file, create one. '' The user.js file is just a simple text file you create yourself (e.g., with Notepad on Windows) that has a .js file extension.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file for details.

  • How pricing condition be auto updated if the user changes price in PO ?

    Hi
    Is there any configuration setting on how pricing condition can be automatically updated if the user changes price in the purchase order ?
    Thanks
    Maruthi

    Hi Maruthi,
    As far as I know, POs (like many other documents in SAP) are "snapshots" of data as it was at the time of the document creation.  This snapshot has no direct link to master data, so it will not change unless you go to the document and manually change/refresh whatever data you need updated. 
    Even if there were a way to link your PO to master data to auto-update I don't see how any change on a PO could go backwards and change master data.  Pricing works the other way around - the PO takes the price from the condition records, not the records from the PO.
    Hope this helps,
    J

  • I can not figure out how to copy and paste, the instructions said to open the user.js file in my profile directory but there is no such file. How can I fix this?

    I searched the site for a fix but the instructions weren't very clear about inserting files and lines. I could not find the user.js file and i was not sure how to create a file, but i could create a folder. Could I use a microsoft word file or what?

    Why am I unable to install some apps updates from the app store? Does anybody know why? I need help!!!

    1.   Are you using the right signing in details?
    2.   Were the Apps originally bought via the App Store?
    3.   Have you checked if they are partially downloaded?
    There is a support link here ...   Apple - Support - Mac App Store - Contact Support
