Question

I was wondering what code I could use instead of initWithContentsOfFile: as I’ve been searching for something that isn’t deprecated but cannot find anything. I’m trying to display a local HTML file within a webview, below is the code:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    NSString *htmlPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"index" ofType:@"html"];
    NSURL *bundleUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]];
    NSString *html = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:htmlPath];
    [self.myWebView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:bundleUrl];

}

And I’m getting a warning saying that initWithContentsOfFile: is deprecated and would like to know how to update it.

Try this:

NSError *error = nil;
NSString *string = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:@"/path/to/file.txt" encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error];
