upgrading iPhone application via iTunes

Hi,

I want to upload a new beta version of my iPhone application for beta testers group. Users save their data in the Documents folder. What do i need to do in order for users to upgrade their application without loosing their data?

Thanks in advance,

Nava

The Documents directory is not overwritten when you update an app so as long as your data is compatible between versions, you shouldn't have to do anything special.

Alternatively, for developers, Xcode's Organizer allows you to extract the contents of an apps Documents directory easily.

well, the answer was simple - increasing the bundle version. My problem was, that i didn't change the bundle version and when was trying to upgrade the application on iPod it wasn't upgrading without deleting it first, which deleted all user data along with the package.Increasing bundle version from 1.0 to 1.1 has solved the problemThank you anyway for the fast reply.

while on the mac it updates just fine, on the windows it says - "The application couldn't be updated because it couldn't be verified. iTunes 8.02 for windows... Any suggestions?

Downgrading iTunes to 7.7 seems solved the problem on Windows
