iOS : I can't write my file

Question

I want to write a file on my iPhone app. My file is in my project\'s folder, but when I try to reach it :

NSString *myFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResour         


        

Answer 1

You ask:

Why?

It's that path because that's where the file is stored.

On the device it will be different.

Note that you can't write a file to that folder anyway. You should perhaps instead write to your app's documents folder:

//Get the documents folder
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

//Get the final path of your file.
NSString *finalPath = @"myfile.txt"];    
//And actually write that file.
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createFileAtPath:finalPath contents:/*fileData as NSData*/ attributes:nil];
