Saved game files and updates to your app

We just released 1.0.0 of Aliens versus Humans and plan to release an update prior to Dec 22. I'm guessing that as long as the bundle ID doesn't change, Apple likely doesn't care about versions as long as the version changes. My concern is to preserve the saved games that users will have from 1.0. Essentially what I'm doing to test is to have 1.0.0 on my phone then I produce an ad hoc distribution of 1.0.1 and download it. Then I load saved games that continue to exist from 1.0.0.

I think that is as close to testing what will happen in the AppStore as I can get.

Comments/suggestions?

Unless the app is removed, any save files which are saved within the documents folder will be still there when the app is updated.

If you didn't change file format from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1, there should be no need to do anything. Like @Eko said, app related stuff is only removed when you completely wipe the app from the phone.
