Get contents of directory from main bundle

Question

I am including a directory full of files in my app. I looked through the NSBundle docs, but I can't seem find out how to get the URL to this directory. I'm trying to use the main bundle object.

I have a directory "defaultImages" under a directory "Resources" in xCode. I have confirmed that these are being copied to the device, how do I get the URL to them?

Specifically, the following does not work.

[[NSBundle mainBundle]:URLForResource:@"defaultImages" withExtension:@"" subdirectory:@"Resources"];

And try look around for the similar questions http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3238143/iphone-ios-copying-files-from-main-bundle-to-documents-folder-causes-crash http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3428715/getting-iphone-mainbundle-files — yunas, Nov 15 '13 at 00:37
How are you saving the data to the device? I think that might be the issue — Pinwheeler, Nov 15 '13 at 01:21
Looks like NSBundle does not locate directories, only file assets — Thomas, Nov 16 '13 at 01:12

Try

 NSString *filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"defaultImages" ofType:@"footype"];

Apparently NSBundle will not locate a directory for you. My solution was to put the contents of the directory inside a bundle, via How to make an iOS asset bundle?. I then added that bundle to my main application bundle.
