Hello, I'm developing an app and was wondering if the only place you can save or create files is in the tmp:/ volume? I can write there without any problems but if I try to use my own structure, i.e., pkg:/storage, I am unable to write there it would seem. Can someone tell me the limitations in this regard? I know the tmp:/ volume clears each time you leave the channel but I want some content to stay on the device if possible.

Fortunately the language is pretty simple and I've been able to just troll here for answers but this one has me stumped!

Thank you!

I think I answered my own question, I stumbled upon something in the documentation just now:

tmp - temporary file storage device for the application
pkg - root of the application directory that provides read-only access to files provided in the pkg

No way around this then? It seems I've also read that you cannot save to external USB drives either, is the only solution to save to tmp:/ and consume what you need and just accept that whatever you download will need to be downloaded each time the channel is run?

About what I figured. Thank you.
