iPhone: is it possible to alter data in an application's Documents folder?
<p>I am building an iPhone game where I store the player's game data in the Documents folder of the application. The game data is serialized to disk using encodeWithCoder. Using this approach, am I at risk of malicious players altering the game data by hand?</p>

<p>I know jail broken phones give you ssh access to your phone. So in theory, a player can ssh into his phone, find the game data, and edit it using vi to tweak their data?</p>

<p>I have a jail broken phone for testing and I'm trying it now, but each attempt at editing it seems to corrupt the file and make it impossible to be read by the game.</p>

<p>I'm also trying to scp the data file to my dev machine, open it up using xcode, tweaking the values, and sending it back to the app. But I'm not having any success on seeing the new values appear in the game.</p>

<p>So am I safe from this type of exploit?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
