i'm looking for a place to store the user's registration code. the
following places appear as possiblities:
1) in the resources folder inside my app bundle -- but this
requires modifying my app bundle and won't work if my app is on
read only media
2) in a file inside ~/library/application support/ - although i'm
not too concerned about piracy, this seems a little too obvious and
easy for the user to find the file and send to friends
3) the above have led me to consider using NSHTTPCookie and
NSHTTPCookieStorage.
is there any reason that i shouldn't use approach 3? or could
anyone suggest a better place to store this information?
That's a terrible idea, if they clear their cookies from Safari
they'll lose their registration code for your application!
thanx. i'm not a heavy safari user and i hadn't realized that it was
so easy to remove all cookies. i've thought of using the keychain
(and may yet use it), but its awfully easy for any user to extract
entries from the keychain, and thus to simply email the license to
another user. i was hoping i could find someplace a little less
accessable.

If you want to hide it somewhere, what about the Keychain?
