I can read remote XML with the following code:

-(id)loadXMLByURL:(NSString *)urlString
{
    tweets = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    NSString *filePath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:urlString];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
    parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url];       

    parser.delegate = self;
    [parser parse];
    return self;
}

And I'm calling the above function here:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    xmlcont = [[XMLController alloc] loadXMLByURL:@"http://192.168.10.12:81/book.xml"];

    for (Tweet *t in [xmlcont tweets]) {
        NSLog(@"At date: %@ you wrote: %@",[t createdAt], [t content]);
    }

    [super viewDidLoad];
}

Actually I'd like to do something like this, little as one difference. I want to read a XML local file that is in my resource folder on my Project in XCode, but definitelly I don't know how to do this! I'm getting crazy with that! I'm just can to read XML remote file (http://..../file.xml).

Say there is a file.xml in your resources folder that you want to parse. You can get the file path like this,

NSString * filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"file" ofType:@"xml"];

There are two ways you can use this to get what you want.

Using file URL

NSURL * fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
NSXMLParser * parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:fileURL];
    ....

Using file data

NSData * fileData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
NSXMLParser * parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:fileData];
    ....
