Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.

Sharing a plist file using iCloud

I have a relativley simple app which persists data to a plist file located in the documents folder. The data loads into a UITableView at startup. The user can then edit, delete or add records and any changes get saved back to the plist file.

Now I would like to share this data (the plist file) across devices using iCloud. I have looked at the documentation and my understanding is that I would need to create a UIDocument to "manage" the plist file.

I have looked at some of the iCloud tutorials however they store only a simple string within a property in the UIDocument class, not an entire file (like a plist).

How do I share my plist file (or any file, for that matter) using the UIDocument object?

Would I convert the plist file contents to NSData and then save that to a property in the UIDocument? Should I be using use NsFileWrapper instead?

I seem to be having a difficult time wrapping my head around the UIDocument/iCloud arrangement. I am probably making this more complicated then it really is.

Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
