Question

How do I prevent files from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?

I have created the ios app using adobe AIR16 and flash cc. After submission of my aap into aapstore, I received a message from Apple with the following message –

From Apple

  • 2.23 - Apps must follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines or they will be rejected.

By using xcode we can prevent files from being backed up to icloud and itunes, but i want to know that  what is the way to achieve this by using AIR. While creating an explicit app id from apple developer account , i am not enabling icloud support.

Within AIR you can set the File.preventBackup property to true on a directory or file to prohibit that content from being backed up to the cloud:

File - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference

This is all you need to call when you first create the folder or file to have it work with iOS backup guidelines.
