Hi,<br />
<br />
I am porting a mobile application which currently runs on Windows Phone and Android to iOS. &nbsp;I am using MonoTouch and I have previously used Mono for Android.<br />
<br />
I have items of data which I need to store - for example I read an XML file from the server which defines a number of 'jobs'. &nbsp;I create Job objects from the XML and then save the job objects to IsolatedStorage using the IsolatedStorageSettings object.<br />
<br />
Unfortruantely IsolatedStorageSettyings does not exist under MonoTouch apparently so I need an alternative. &nbsp;I guess I could serialize the objects back to XML and store as files but the IsolatedStorageSettings was much cleaner as I didn't need toi woory about the underlying mechanisms and it was portable. &nbsp;Any suggestions please.

Hi,

I am porting a mobile application which currently runs on Windows Phone and Android to iOS.  I am using MonoTouch and I have previously used Mono for Android.

I have items of data which I need to store - for example I read an XML file from the server which defines a number of 'jobs'.  I create Job objects from the XML and then save the job objects to IsolatedStorage using the IsolatedStorageSettings object.

Unfortruantely IsolatedStorageSettyings does not exist under MonoTouch apparently so I need an alternative.  I guess I could serialize the objects back to XML and store as files but the IsolatedStorageSettings was much cleaner as I didn't need toi woory about the underlying mechanisms and it was portable.  Any suggestions please.

MonoTouch and storing application data

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple; it is a derivative of the Mac OS X desktop operating system, with which it shares many (but not all) common frameworks and other components. These include Cocoa Touch, the Mach/Darwin/XNU kernel and code from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Each iOS application runs in its own secure sandbox to prevent altering other applications, the operating system, or any other data.

Swift is a compiled programming language created for iOS, OS X, watchOS, tvOS and Linux development by Apple Inc. Swift is designed to work with Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks and the large body of existing Objective-C code written for Apple products. Swift is intended to be more resilient to erroneous code ("safer") than Objective-C and also more concise. It is built with the LLVM compiler framework included in Xcode 6 and later and uses the Objective-C runtime, which allows C, Objective-C, C++ and Swift code to run within a single program. A second free implementation of Swift targets Microsoft's Common Language Infrastructure (a.k.a. .NET) and the Java/Android platform.

Swift Programming

Windows Phone (WP) is a family of mobile operating systems developed for smartphones as the replacement successor to Windows Mobile and Zune.  Windows Phone features a new user interface derived from Metro design language. Windows 10 Mobile succeeded Windows Phone 8.1 and emphasizes a larger amount of integration and unification with its PC counterpart—including a new, unified application ecosystem, along with an expansion of its scope to include small-screened tablets.
