You cannot modify the contents of a compiled app's bundle folder. This is because the bundle is the compiled application. This prevents the possibility of malware modifying apps after install.

Files generated at run time should be saved to the either Documents, Temp or Cache folders. These folders are only accessible to your app. No other app can access the contents of these folders.

Sample Code :

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

NSError *error;
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:[documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"yourFolderName"] withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:&error];
