It’s unacceptable IMO that tvOS apparently doesn’t allows apps to use persistent storage. For instance, the new RetroArch game emulator has to store all your savegames, screenshots, ROMs in the Caches directory, which the OS may purge at any time without warning. *poof*

“your app can only access 500 KB of persistent storage … Outside of this limited local storage, all other data must be purgeable by the OS when space is low.” developer.apple.com/library/ar Why even sell the 128 GB Apple TV then?

developer.apple.comApp Programming Guide for tvOS: Apple TV and tvOSDescribes how to write applications for tvOS.

@ole no persistent storage is honestly a big reason why I haven’t yet ported Delta to Apple TV 😬

@rileytestut @ole this was a big part of the problem with Minecraft for Apple TV. They didn’t discontinue it because they got bored, people kept losing data and they couldn’t fix it.

@ezekiel @rileytestut @ole this is super sad, Minecraft on the Apple TV was a big deal and they lost it because… Apple is stupid?
