If you need only read sqlite3 database it makes sense to work with database in app bundle.
You open database as in example:

NSString *pathname = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"nameOfYourDatabase" ofType:@"sqlite3"]; // extension could not be .sqlite3!!! Have a look on your db file.
sqlite3 *database;
int res = sqlite3_open_v2([pathname UTF8String], &database, SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY, NULL);
if (res != SQLITE_OK) {
    NSLog(@"Error opening database %@", pathname);
    sqlite3_close(database);
}

If you need to write in database on first run of your app you need to copy database file from app bundle into app documents directory and then open database for read and write access.
