Permission on cache files

[niklassaers]

Hi,
thanks for making AwesomeCache - I really like it. :-)

But, I'm having a number of crashes, and they are almost always related to writing or reading files. My hypothesis is that the user has locked his or her device, and the device requires a passcode or touch id to unlock. The default now would be that access to files for threads running in the background is locked. I do background fetch, grab some data of the network, and cache the parts I need. During the operation, I also look up items from the cache. When it hits the disk, and reads or writes them from there, what permissions do they have? Can I set them myself? Perhaps on a cache-by-cache level? For these caches, the data isn't sensitive at all, so I can grant them full read/write / no security.

Cheers

Nik

Seems to be an odd issue.
I've added a PoC to the experimental-filepermissions branch, which lets you set the fileProtection on Cache.init.

Can you try setting this value to NSFileProtectionNone and see if the issue persists?

Thanks Alexander, I've integrated it into my code and will try to recreate the crashes.

@niklassaers, any news on this?

14 days no crashes - looks good :-)

Awesome, I'll try to get this into the next release. Thanks for taking the time to test.
