What you do is on app start, you check if the file you want in the docs dir exists, and if it doesn't, you copy it there from your read-only application bundle.

It'll copy over the original data into the new location (which isn't optimal, but it's better than assuming it's in a static location, which would cause all sorts of confusion amongst your users, or worse: a crash).
