iOS Demo App

Hi, My question is about the iOS Demo App submission. Apple's guidelines "Creating and Uploading Your iOS Demo App" has a clause that says:

Your demo app must not have the capability to save data. If your shipping application enables users to enter data, notes, drawings or paintings, etc., make sure this user created data is completely erased when the application becomes inactive (e.g., when the user switches to another app).


My question is does this mean we have to clear all data temprarily stored in Documents directory and in NSUserDefaults? And if the ios demo app (in apple stores) is relaunched or taken to background does this erase the data we've stored in NSUserDefaults and/or Documents directory?

You seem to be referencing and quoting 3rd party/non-apple guidelines from over 6 years back.


Apple tends to discourage demo apps that lack lasting value. See Apple's App Store Review Guidelines 4.2 Minimum Functionality
