Does a title update overwrite saved attributes?

Before I get too far along - do saved attributes stay when a user updates to the latest version of a GS app?

I know that with a normal iPhone app that data saved stays on the phone and is not erased when updating - unless the app is deleted from the phone prior to the update.

Is the same true with GS builds?

Thanks
Charlie

    I want to know too, if you make an updater version of app, will it overwrite the old version saved attributes? or you still can get what you have saved!

    Can anyone help? thank

    It doesn't overwrite the older data - the save games are output to a file that stays on your device.

    Your high scores will remain from update to update etc..

    Hope that helps!

    I needed the explanation for this process dumbed way down the first time I asked...

    Saved values are referenced in-game using a "key". As long as you continue to use the same "key" for the same purpose, your old values will be accessible to future updates.

    My question...

    Can I pass values from app to app if they use the same bundleID?
