    Find the location of the running app by doing :

    NSString * applicationPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];

    Which will return something like :

    /Users/myUser/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/317CF5C7-57B3-42CE-8DF4-4DD10B070D95/Assignment1a.app

    Then use - (NSString *)stringByDeletingLastPathComponent to chop off the last bit.
