  NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; 
    NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"a.plist"];       
NSMutableDictionary *plistContents = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];

Refer this file handler utility which provides API's to interact with most of your file related operations.

It exposed API for below features,

Check if the file, or directory, exists in the given path
Create a folder in a given path
Verify if a folder exists at a given path
Get the size of a file
Check if a file with that name exists in the folder
Check if this folder has more subfolder or if it's the last folder

You can simply use the following method.

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"a" ofType:@"plist"];
NSDictionary *dict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];
