Saved state when updating

My app saves what levels you have completed. If I add an update, will that saved state be erased/overwritten when a user updates?

I searched the forums for info on this and couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance!

    In theory, the answer is yes.

    I've been building my game and testing it on the GS Viewer on the iPad and it's retaining every saved Attribute, as long as you don't change the Load/Save key you assign it to.

    My application is currently on the app store and I submitted an update. The game saves levels, so when the update pops up in the app store and the user downloads and installs the new updated app (maybe added a feature and fixed a bug only), is this new downloaded app going to erase their current saved data (in this case, what levels are unlocked already)?

    Like beyondthetech said, it shouldn't as long as you havnt messed with saving and loading key, but I'm not saying it's foolproof, it's still beta software... Yes it should save, it's worked in my games;) don't get worried about this, just submit the update, if it wipes their progress, it's not the end of the world and I VERY extremey highly doubt it will. Good Luck! :)
