iOS autmoatically clearing the game INI file

[DistantJ]

Sounds like we need to push CT or an extension builder to look into apple's cloud save service...

We will correct that for the next version...

Great! Thx. It works great all in all. It´s just a problem when the devices needs more space.

I've had similar problems with updates to MegaCity. The sooner this is sorted the better tbh. I have a small update for megacity to push out which fixes a single bug, but at the moment I don't want to release it in case it deletes anyone's save data. This is an especially big potential problem since now I also have an in-app purchase which allows the player to level-up faster. It isn't a consumable purchase, but even still, I don't imagine people will be pleased with erased progress especially if they have paid for quicker progress.

When the update to sort this arrives, will it be backwards compatible automatically, or will we have to code something that retrieves data from the existing ini for it to save in the new location?

After the next update it will first look for ini files in the App bundle's documents directory (which should be properly synchronized with iTunes and iCloud). If it doesn't find the INI file there it will look in the old location prior to the new update (the caches directory). It will always save in the documents directory from now on to prevent data loss.
