I started playing Balatro on iOS since it's Apple Arcade launch, and I love it. I've made a lot of progress on my profile (beaten Gold Stake, unlocked 96% of the Collection, beaten several Challenge runs, &c.), but after seeing all the "Lost Progress" bugs here in Discord, I'm increasingly hesitant to play since I might lose all or some of my progress and I don't wanna start over.

If possible, could you expose the save files so we can back up our profiles in case something goes wrong? It shouldn't be that hard to do either: apps can expose part of their file directory to Finder (MacOS) and iTunes (Windows) when syncing your iPhone/iPad so you can directly upload/download them. (And as a side benefit, this would also allow us to transfer our profile saves between iDevices and PC which I know a lot of existing players want.)

Here's a Stack Overflow post about how to implement file system access in an iOS app: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70613514/how-can-i-display-my-app-documents-in-the-files-app-for-iphone

As a developer myself, I can say that this sort of thing is rarely as simple as a copy-paste-four-lines-of-code-from-Stack-Exchange instafix, particularly when you're working with a multi-platform Lua-scripting game engine like they are.
