Question

The following code is outputting The operation couldn’t be completed. (Cocoa error 256.) and the filenames NSArray is null/empty. There should be files in this folder, any ideas whats broken?

NSError *error;
NSFileManager *fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; 
filenames = [fm contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"files" ofType:nil] error:&error];

NSLog(@"%@", [error localizedDescription]);

EDIT

[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@”files” ofType:nil] is returning null for some reason

Answer 1

Nil extensions aren’t folders, iOS treats them like files. You have to use -resourcePath then append the name of your folder instead.
