iphone Simulator and device bundle

Question

i am prepararing an ios application. i am using following code

NSString * yol=[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"TavsiyeKitapAile" ofType:@"plist"];


NSDictionary * tka = [XMLReader dictionaryForXMLData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.bahcevan.org/kat.php?kat=64"]] error:nil];

[tka writeToFile:yol atomically:YES];

NSMutableDictionary * dic = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]initWithContentsOfFile:yol];

it is working well on simulator but when i open it, i couln't see data. nothing comes. i think it is related with bundle but i couldn't solve it.

check the Spelling of @"TavsiyeKitapAile" ofType:@"plist" is there any changes in case for ex : "Plist" instead of "plist" ? — Siba Prasad Hota, Nov 24 '12 at 11:39

You can't write into device bundle, Your device bundle is readonly, if you want to save/write something then you have to write it to document directory.

on simulator app is not propertly sandboxed PLUS its in your home dir and that is writable to you. still... this seems like a 'bug' in the simulator. Please file a bug about it with apple :) – Daij-Djan Nov 24 '12 at 11:50
i am parsing an XML and writing it into a plist in my project. Isnt't it possible? (TavsiyeKitapAile.plist is already in my project, i created it before.) if it is how could i write it into documents directory ? – ozmuhammed Nov 24 '12 at 20:36

i found the solution, it is using the directory "Documents", i used following code insted of first one :)

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(
                                                     NSDocumentDirectory,
                                                     NSUserDomainMask, YES
                                                     );

NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

NSURL *yol = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[documentsDirectory
                                     stringByAppendingString:@"/TavsiyeKitapAile.plist"]];

NSDictionary * tka = [XMLReader dictionaryForXMLData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.bahcevan.org/kat.php?kat=64"]] error:nil];

[tka writeToURL:yol atomically:YES];


NSMutableDictionary * dic = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:yol];
