Following code may help in creating directory :

-(void) createDirectory : (NSString *) dirName {

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; // Fetch path for document directory
dataPath = (NSMutableString *)[documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:dirName];

NSError *error;

if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:dataPath withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:&error]) {
    NSLog(@"Couldn't create directory error: %@", error);
}
else {
    NSLog(@"directory created!");
}

NSLog(@"dataPath : %@ ",dataPath); // Path of folder created

}

Usage :

[self createDirectory:@"MyFolder"];

Result :

directory created!

dataPath : /var/mobile/Applications/BD4B5566-1F11-4723-B54C-F1D0B23CBC/Documents/MyFolder
