How are iOS developers creating simple read only config text files?

Mostly developed for Android so was not familiar with the limitations of Apple's sandboxing in iOS.

So I simply need to create an editable text (or xml or json) config file that gets loaded and parsed by my iOS app when it starts. What is the best solution for this?
In order for this config file to be included with the app when it compiles, do I need to store it in StreamingAssets or?
And lastly, how do I edit this file on the actual device?
Any help appreciated!

 

yes you can read it from StreamingAsstes:

Code (CSharp):

1. var filepath = Path.Combine(Application.streamingAssets, "youfilename");
2. var lines = File.ReadAllLines(filepath);
3.  

the above will read its content (untested)
test writing yourself - but its normal member of a filesystem which is accessible, so I see no reason writing to it would not work, too

 

Are you asking about editing your app's config file on the device using another app, i.e. a dedicated text editor app?

 

Thanks.
And andymads, Yes, if that is an option . However my understanding is that because of sandboxing, it isn't possible to view any text file associated with an iOS app. Something quite simple with Android. Am I mistaken?

 

Sorry I don't have experience of this but you could try asking on stackoverflow.
