    <p>I wanted to share a somewhat unorthodox solution I found to this problem that has the HUGE advantage of not requiring a server. This method allows users to restore their consumable items if the app is deleted and reinstalled, but does not allow them to move the items to a new device (unless all their app data is copied over).</p> <p>Data stored in the keychain persists when an app is deleted and reinstalled. The keychain is intended for storing usernames and passwords, but you can also store information about consumable purchases in there. I used the KeychainItemWrapper class, available here: <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/content/samplecode/GenericKeychain/Introduction/Intro.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developer.apple.com/library/content/samplecode/GenericKeychain/Introduction/Intro.html</a> </p> <p>Here is some sample code where I store and retrieve the number of paid hints that a user has remaining:</p> <pre><code>//Storing the consumable hint item count int hintsLeft = 100; KeychainItemWrapper *wrapper = [[KeychainItemWrapper alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"Hints" accessGroup:nil]; NSString *hintsString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i",hintsLeft]; [wrapper setObject:hintsString forKey:(id)kSecValueData]; [wrapper release]; //Retrieving it KeychainItemWrapper *wrapper = [[KeychainItemWrapper alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"Hints" accessGroup:nil]; NSString *numHints = [wrapper objectForKey:(id)kSecValueData]; [wrapper release]; int retrievedHints = [numHints intValue]; </code></pre> <p>Notes: </p> <ul> <li><p>the key (id)kSecValueData can't be an arbitrary string, there is a set list of constants that you can use as the key.</p></li> <li><p>You will need to add the security framework</p></li> </ul>

    1. COThis is the kind of post I wish I could upvote twice. Excellent, creative persistent solution to a perennial problem. I had this working in 15 minutes, and highly recommend the approach for tracking consumables.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
