ios 8: Bundle path changes

by

In iOS 8, The file system layout of app containers has changed. Applications and their content are no longer stored in one root directory.

From the iOS 8 Release Notes:

The file system layout of app containers has changed on disk. Rather
than relying on hard-coded directory structure, use the
NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains function or the
URLForDirectory:inDomain:appropriateForURL:create:error: method of the
NSFileManager class. See Accessing Files and Directories in File
System Programming Guide.

This is not a bug. Make sure you use the recommended APIs (from the above quote) and you won’t have a problem.

So, If you are trying to access a bundled resource you added to the project, you would use:

[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"resourceName" ofType:@"extension"];

But if you want to use something that you put in the documents directory, you would use:

[[NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) firstObject] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"resourceName.extension"];
