LiveCode Forums.

Greetings LiveCoders. I have to set the "don't backup to iCloud" attribute (Cocoa: NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey, Carbon: kCFURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey) on a folder from LiveCode and I can't see any built-in way to do so.

Does anyone know of a way to set this attribute from LiveCode short of resorting to an external plug-in?

An update to a previously approved app got rejected for putting ~1MB of data into iCloud after launch, which it's always done. It's use editable but I'd like to tag it so it's not backed up unless/until it's actually modified.

Thanks
Dave

The engine now has a command iphoneSetDoNotBackupFile. I think it was either a 5.5 or 5.5.1 change. If your not on 5.5 yet I have a free external that does it at mergExt.com

Cheers
