I need to store a file that will get read on a per-user basis when the application starts and written to on the same basis when the application shuts down. The file will contain a couple of archived arrays. It seems like the appropriate location for this file is ~/ Library/Application Support/MyApplication/.

Use the app signature instead of its plain name, like .../ com.yourdomain.YourApplication.


1) If there's a better place, tell me :)

If the amount of information is small, the defaults database (see NSUSerDefaults). If it is not small, there's no better place :)


2) Aside from creating the directory via an installer, how can this directory best be created?

On demand, whenever the application needs to write to it the first time. If there's no folder of the appropriate name, create it, and then write into it.


3) How can I work with this directory while I'm still developing with Xcode?

The very same way as when deployed. The folder and file(s) will be created in the developer's Library, which is all right, is it not?
