Question by dansav · Apr 04, 2012 at 03:51 PM · iphonepathdata

on iphone is persistentDataPath the equivalent of Documents?

I'm trying to sort out the unity Application data paths for iphone.

Can someone explain how each one relates to the iphone.

Application.dataPath --not useful on iphone? Application.streamingAssets --only for things you will download with www? Application.persistentDataPath -- same as documents? Is this right?

So I know I'm posting this under an old question but this is what I know (or think I do :)

  • persistentDataPath - a location that you are allowed to write to on the device, so you can keep files there between runs

  • streamingAssetPath - the location that anything in the projects StreamingAssets folder has been copied to. This is for things that the device needs to know about using a local filename, like movies to play on the OS movie player

  • dataPath - This is the Data folder under your apps install on the phone - you can't write to this, but I think it's the folder under which persistentDataPath and streamingAssetPath live.

When I want some data to exists after updating the app, is it the place (persistentDataPath) to keep it? I mean user do some stuff, buy some things, and I want to store that info even after I send next version of my app, so after updating the app user will have tehe same previous bought things.
