so I am working on a jb app that requires writing to the file system (/var/mobile/Library/Downloads specifically), and I tried hard coding it in like someone recommended but I cant seem to make it work, i know how to do so to the Documents directory in my app but not the file system, any ideas? thank you!
edit 1 – as reference: the way that the Safari DL Plugin does it
try this path
/private/var/mobile/Library/Downloads
You need to check if the directory already exists or not before writing to it. You can use NSFileManager class for file/directory operations. You also need to check for the permissions on that folder, your app if not running as root cannot write to folders which only root has access to.
