2.23 Apps must follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines or they will be rejected

I'm reading many question about this problem. I'm using Phonegap for my app. My app download about 3mb of images. Apple reject my app and suggest to apply "do not backup attribute" to all files.How do I prevent files from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?

I use this code for my 5.1 app:

- (BOOL)addSkipBackupAttributeToItemAtURL:(NSURL *)URL
 {
      assert([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath: [URL path]]);

      NSError *error = nil;
      BOOL success = [URL setResourceValue: [NSNumber numberWithBool: YES]
                              forKey: NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey error: &error];
      if(!success){
         NSLog(@"Error excluding %@ from backup %@", [URL lastPathComponent], error);
      }
      return success;
 }

I put it in my AppDelegate.m . Is it correct?

This should be the correct code that is working at my side : 

var DATADIR;
var knownfiles = []; 

function init() {
          window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, onFSSuccess, null);
}

function onFSSuccess(fileSystem) {
    console.log("here I am");
    fileSystem.root.getDirectory("it.mns.dcsofficebp",{create:true},gotDir,false);
}
function gotDir(d){
    DATADIR = d;
    DATADIR.setMetadata(onSetMetadataSuccess, onSetMetadataFail, { "com.apple.MobileBackup": 1});
}

function onSetMetadataSuccess() {
    console.log("success setting metadata - DONE DONE DONE!")
}
function onSetMetadataFail() {
    console.log("error setting metadata")
}

This is my result : 2012-12-14 12:46:20.064 testproj[1779:c07] [LOG] success setting metadata - DONE DONE DONE!

This is my code

   var DATADIR;
   var knownfiles = []; 

   function init() {
         document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, true);
   }

   function onDeviceReady() {
          window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, onFSSuccess, null);    
    }

    //Loaded my file system, now let's get a directory entry for where I'll store my crap    
    function onFSSuccess(fileSystem) {
         fileSystem.root.getDirectory("it.mns.dcsofficebp",{create:true},gotDir,onError);
    }

    //The directory entry callback
    function gotDir(d){
         DATADIR = d;
         var reader = DATADIR.createReader();
         localStorage.setItem("datadir",JSON.stringify(DATADIR));
         reader.readEntries(function(d){
             appReady();
         },onError);
    }

     //Result of reading my directory
     function gotFiles(entries) {
         for (var i=0; i<entries.length; i++) {
                knownfiles.push(entries[i].name);
                renderPicture(entries[i].fullPath);
          }
      }

Where i need to put 

parent.setMetadata(onSetMetadataSuccess, onSetMetadataFail, { "com.apple.MobileBackup": 1});

Where are you storing the files at the moment? I guess you are you using the standard Phonegap example : 

window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, onSuccess, null);

A solution is using the code below for your FileSytem request, which will requets the temporary dir of your app :

window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.TEMPORARY, 0, onSuccess, onError);

The LocalFileSystem.TEMPORARY on iOS would point to 

/var/mobile/Applications/CEEECEA6-4684-4599-B0BF-407BE2CBD3CE/tmp

Kind regards,

Mike
