Json not saving on iOS

Unity Engine
1

So i’m using json to save some data, and on pc it works completly fine, but on iOS it dosent apear to do anything.

This is the script I use to save it

        string saveText = JsonUtility.ToJson ( new BuildInfo( build.width, build.height, build.idList) ); // Converts into json string
        File.WriteAllText (Application.dataPath + "/IdList.txt", saveText); // Writes it into the file

        SceneManager.LoadScene("Scene", LoadSceneMode.Single); // <-- this line never executes on ios, so error must be above

This is what the json file looks like on pc ( I can’t access the file on iOS so no idea how it looks there…)

{"width":9,"height":19,"idList":[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]}

And this is the script I use to load, so far I have no idea if it works, because well, there is nothing to read

        string loadedText = File.ReadAllText (Application.dataPath + "/IdList.txt");
        BuildInfo loadedBuildInfo = JsonUtility.FromJson<BuildInfo>(loadedText);

The docs of Application.dataPath should explain it: Unity - Scripting API: Application.dataPath

“iOS player: <path to player app bundle>/<AppName.app>/Data (this folder is read only, use Application.persistentDataPath to save data).”

Thanks!

The Application.persistentDataPath didn’t work on pc, but it appears to be working on iOS, so I just did this:

#if UNITY_IOS
         File.WriteAllText (Application.persistentDataPath + "/IdList.txt", saveText); // Writes it into the file ( iOs version)
#else
        File.WriteAllText (Application.dataPath + "/IdList.txt", saveText); // Writes it into the file
#endif
