Question

I am new to iPhone development. I am using the below code to add the value to the plist but when check the plist after executing the code I don’t see any value saved in the plist. Where did I go wrong? The plist I have created is in the resource folder.

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSString *finalPath = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"regvalue.plist"];
NSMutableDictionary* plistDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:finalPath];
[plistDict setValue:@"hello" forKey:@"choice"];
[plistDict writeToFile:finalPath atomically: YES];

For retrieving the value

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSString *finalPath = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"regvalue.plist"];
NSMutableDictionary* plistDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:finalPath];
NSString *value;
value = [plistDict objectForKey:@"choice"];
NSLog(@"the value is %@",value);

It gives only null value.

The resources folder is not writeable. You should save it into the documents folder.
