I’m using iPhone6 simulator, I’m trying to get a file (any extension pdf of html) by using any of this codes: 

 NSString *file = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.pdf", documentName] ofType:nil];

or 

NSString *file2 = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:documentName ofType:@"pdf"];

I’m sure that the file in exists in Resources folder and I’m not add the file, I download it from web programmatically and see it in this path
( /Users/myMac/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/6.9/Applications/E60F22DD-7301-48EF-AB25-B9D42FA6AD49/myApp.app) I see the file, but the code does not see it

but this codes sometimes gives me null and some other times gives me the file.

Why is this happen and how to prevent this and make it always gives me the file.
consider that I uses 

if(file != nil)

and want to make if file == nil try to open it by using any way.

Thanks in Advance.

    Make sure your file is added to project’s target. Choose your target then Build Phases->Copy Bundle Resources. The file should be there.

    Sometimes it’s worth cleaning your project and building from scratch. I have seen cases when file added wasn’t copied to simulator/device until clean was performed.
