Hi,

I doing a AS3 app to iphone that save some data on the device.

Im wondering if there is anyway that a second app of mine in the same device can read the same data that the first app saved.

Is there anyway to create a commond data location for both apps? or something like that?

if yes, how? if no, any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Luiz-BR

I am curious as to accomplish the same thing. 

I am not sure how the iOS stores its data yet however I know the Android stores its native app data in the data/apps folder which is blocked unless the android device has escalated privileges. aka is "rooted"  I was thinking as a possible work around for Android devises is to store the data in a common fold outside of the data/apps folder.  However note that this data(ie DB, files, etc) will be visible to other applications, which could lead to possible malicious behaviors from other apps.

I am also open to any other suggestions from the community
