    Hello,

    This may be a very naive question, as not getting far in trying to find a solution. Not quite sure if I don't know right the terminology to search with, or is so obviously easy/impossible no one else has posted about it.

    I've developed my first app of any kind in Unity over the last 6 months (targeting iOS first, then Android). it stores a considerable amount of data in a SQLite DB. Important for the use case, the app also includes a comprehensive editor to allow users to amend and update the DB directly within the app.

    Some users will spend a considerable amount of time tailoring the app's content in this way. So I want to give them a way to copy that DB file outside of persistent data both as a backup, but also so that they can edit it in a Windows/Mac version of the in-app editor I plan to make available.

    Any pointers very gratefully received by both novice dev and iOS user. Thank you.
