iOS 5.0.1 beta introduces a new way for developers to specify files that should remain on device, even in low storage situations.The last note about device files addresses an iOS 5.0 issue raised by Marco Arment.There’s no longer anywhere to store files that don’t need to be backed up (or can’t be, by the new policy) but shouldn’t be randomly deleted.The iOS 5.0 policy introduced issues for apps that wished to store offline data. Apple appears to have addressed this issue in 5.0.1.
