No such file or directory iOS

Question

I am trying to get size of the file by its path. Those files are saved videos from my app. i used the below code its returning the error saying there is no file or directory.

NSString *urlPath = [self.localPathArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSError *err;
NSDictionary * properties = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] attributesOfItemAtPath:urlPath error:&err];

This is how am saving the file path after downloading the file

 - (void)URLSession:(NSURLSession *)session assetDownloadTask:
(AVAssetDownloadTask *)assetDownloadTask didFinishDownloadingToURL:(NSURL *)location {


        NSString *localPath = location.relativePath;
        NSLog(@"localPath: %@", localPath);

       [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]setValue:self.localPathArray forKey:@"AssetPath"];
    }

See the error screenshot and my app storage details screenshot below

are you missed onething you forget to append your `NSString *localPath` to `self.localPathArray` — Anbu.Karthik, Mar 20 '19 at 06:41
add `[self.localPathArray addObject: localPath ];` then store your into NSUserDefaults — Anbu.Karthik, Mar 20 '19 at 06:42

The path with reference to root directory is called absolute. The path with reference to current directory is called relative

so try

 NSString *localPath = location.path;

instead of

  NSString *localPath = location.relativePath;

for e.g

  - (void)URLSession:(NSURLSession *)session assetDownloadTask:
(AVAssetDownloadTask *)assetDownloadTask didFinishDownloadingToURL:(NSURL *)location {


        NSString *localPath = location.path;
        NSLog(@"localPath: %@", localPath);
        [self.localPathArray addObject: localPath];
       [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]setValue:self.localPathArray forKey:@"AssetPath"];
    }
