How do updates work with corona? Particularly, how can we update a game and not overwrite user data? Further, how can we add to databases and text files on updates? [import]uid: 54716 topic_id: 12748 reply_id: 312748[/import]
if you have made iOS apps before and created updates, then you would use the same method, nothing changes just because you are using Corona.
You will also have to bear in mind that certain directories are read only where as Documents has r/w access. So databases have to reside in this directory not in the resources directory.
User data will *not* get overwritten unless you change something or delete the app completely.

Thanks for the reply. You wouldn’t happen to have a resourceful link about this would you?

Thanks for the great link. My question would be:
How to properly copy a database onto a user’s device on App Install and update that database upon an App update?
