Save a file with file-system and update app

Is file-system intended to save persistently over app updates? If not, how can i achieve this? nothing related in the docs

@cgebe the currentApp folder is the root folder of your application. When updating the app it is expected that all source files and folder will be updated respectively. To store an information that will not be deleted on source update you can use documents folder and even create your own subfolder. It can still be manually deleted from the user but it won't be deleted when you are updating the application source.
