Hi
I am keeping track of the unlocked levels with a table, if the user downloaded an updated version of the game would that saved table be over written by the new updates is there a way to save the scores?

I'm pretty sure the update will not erase the users previous scores.

I have the same concern. I am storing unlocked levels and scores in a table. I assume that when a user updates their game, that table would get reset. Especially if this table gets any updates (new column for variables), then I can't see how it can remain unchanged. Are there any suggestions for saving these kinds of settings during an update?
You should be able to test this by installing an ad hoc build on a device. Make the changes you want then overwrite the build on your device with the update and test it.
I know from past experience doing this if I make a change like adding columns and rows it will cause problems unless I uninstall the old build before installing the new one. If you are not adding rows or columns it will be fine.
It is also a good practice to add more columns and rows than you need in case you have to add additional information to the table in a future updates.
