Scores reset after updating the app

Hi,

Here’s my situation. Currently I’m using Beebe’s class for handling my highscore system and if I’ve understood it correctly it basically creates a textfile in your game folder in the device and saves the score in there, and when you relaunch the game it loads that score.

But what if I update my app? I mean downloading the latest update from the App Store. Will the scores be reset? Since the new update will replace the old version of the game thus replacing the old .text file with a new blank one? Is there a way to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance, [import]uid: 14018 topic_id: 8356 reply_id: 308356[/import]

Your scores, data saved, will remain.
Just went through this with our app: Cow Down.
Be sure the file you upload is named the way you want.
Our new app name, after you install, is “CowDown121”. whoops. [import]uid: 12635 topic_id: 8356 reply_id: 29871[/import]
