"Regarding the iCloud storage issue: The file that is being backed up to iCloud is not 'owned' by our app. Specifically the file is the cached Newsstand Image file that iOS is saving inside of the app bundle.

The developers have filed a bug report with Apple on the iOS 6 SDK which is bug number 12503097. Per table 8-2 at http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/userexperience/conceptual/mobilehig/IconsImages/IconsImages.html they are relying on Apple to scale and handle this image."
