iOS Storage Management

About

Provides a comprehensive reference for modern iOS storage management, focusing on how to handle low-disk space scenarios and optimize file lifecycle. It covers critical APIs for checking available volume capacity, marking files for backup exclusion, and setting purgeable status. The skill offers practical strategies for location-based purging hierarchies, enabling developers to differentiate between essential user data and opportunistic cache files to ensure app stability and a better user experience under storage pressure.
