First, always assume your user cannot modify the contents of your app bundle. Consider that the user may not be an administrator ...


Second, you haven't said whether your app is document-based or just a plain app. If it's document-based and you only want the global information to be global for that particular document, store it as you would any other document -specific data.

You could use the preferences (NSUserDefaults), or the /Library/ Application Support/Your App Name/ or ~/Library/Application Support/ Your App Name/ folders ... it depends on what you want to do.

It sounds like the app support folder is your best bet in this situation.

Hello, I need the ability to save off a state for my application. By that I mean I need to remember some data that was filled in on my form. Currently I am using the main bundle to load Images at runtime. With that, I need the ability to write to a file somewhere on the system if it existed, and if not then I would have to create it.

My question is, where is the best place to create this file? is just tilde slash a good place?

Is it the standard to throw in a blank file in the resources and then I can write and read to that?
