How to Keep AI Agent Logs Out of iOS and Android Cloud Backups
Mobile AI clients can store sensitive data such as prompts, repository paths, diffs, and authentication tokens that may inadvertently enter cloud backups if not explicitly excluded. Developers are advised to conduct a data inventory to determine which files should be backed up, cached, or deleted, and to apply platform-specific exclusion settings accordingly. On iOS, sensitive files should be marked with a backup-exclusion resource value, while authentication material should be stored in Keychain with an appropriate accessibility class. Android developers should define explicit backup rules to exclude databases, shared preferences, and files containing credentials or task evidence. Excluding files from cloud backup does not address other exposure vectors such as screenshots or server retention, so each copy of sensitive data should have a defined owner, retention policy, and restore test.
