Description
Returns the path to a directory to store any data that your application needs store, regardless of the user, such as files, caches, resources, and preferences.
If the system running your application does not support the requested folder, or if the requested folder does not exist in the system, this function returns an empty string instead.
GetLibraryPath points to the following locations on the various platforms:
- On Windows, it points to the folder that contains the executable file.
- On OS X and iOS, it points to the library directory.
- On Android, it points to the device-specific location of the sandbox for the application; the iOS home location is individually defined for each application instance and for each iOS device.
