The app crashes when python tries to make a new folder called data. I was wondering if there is anywhere in Xcode or kivy-ios that gives an app permission to create a new folder?

Yes, iOS is very restrictive in terms of permissions. You can only really create folders in your user directory. That is by design for security reasons. Rather use the "user_data_dir".
