Question

I have a legacy sqlite file on my iPhone app, but when tested on-device the sqlite file can not be found. Is there some method to deploy the sqlite file on the iPhone device?

Thanks a lot.

The file needs to be added to your Xcode project. Make sure you are loading the correct file and there are no typos.

EDIT: Update based on comments:

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"sqlitefile" ofType:@"db"];
if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:path]) {
    // Don't create new sqlite file
}
else {
    // Create a new sqlite file
}
