\nApplications normally store their data in the\/Document<\/em><\/strong> directory and everything work normally. Applications can also store their temporary data in\u00a0\/tm<\/em>p and\u00a0\/Library\/Caches\u00a0<\/em>directories, and it get deleted when user uninstalls the app from device; Apple accepted such applications in past that store application-specific data, as well as downloadable content in the \/Document\u00a0<\/strong>directory. Examples are magazine app etc.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nIn iOS 5, the iCloud was introduced; It keeps users’ applications and data synced among different devices. In actual, iCloud sync everything that present in \/Document<\/em> directory for an application. As this data may be large (including downloadable content), Apple has now start rejecting such apps that store their data in the \/Document<\/em><\/strong> directory, saying that as iCloud backups are performed daily over Wi-Fi for each user\u2019s iOS device, it\u2019s important to ensure the best possible user experience by minimizing the amount of data being stored by your app. In addition to purchased music, apps, books, camera roll, and device settings, everything in your app\u2019s home directory, including its Documents folder, is backed up to iCloud.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\nIssue: But even with available, fast, unlimited internet connectivity, randomly deleting an app\u2019s data is still a problem; User may feel annoy by downloading the content time and again.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
