But when a user updates my app with a new version when I upload to the appstore, will the new version overwrite the files in the DirInternal folder?

margret Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 30, 2012 #2 No, the update will not overwrite files unless your code copies a file over top of another file. It will replace any items in the assets folder, etc. As long as your own code does not write over any current files you should be good to go. Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 15, 2013 #9 Note that you do not need to call File.Exists here as it is done internally in CopyDBFromAssets. It might be a bug in your device. The internal folder should not be deleted during installation. Upvote 0
