Question

I’m newbie in iOS development and I have a question.
I have a some data received from the Internet(it is XML files) and I want to create from this files one big file and store it in some place on the disk, but I don’t know exactly where.
What is the best way to store such data?

Answer 1

Save it in your document directory.

NSString *documentsPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) lastObject];

Or if you have enabled itunes filesharing support and don’t want the user to access your file, save it in your library directory

NSString *libraryPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSLibraryDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) lastObject];
