Question

This is the code i have. The NSDictionary did used to be something, but i’ve temporarily removed that, when trying to find the problem.

NSString *path = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents/Entries/"];

    NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
    BOOL isDirectory = NO;
    BOOL directoryExists = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:path isDirectory:&isDirectory];
    if (!directoryExists) {
        [fileManager createDirectoryAtPath:path withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:nil];
    }

    if ([self.pathName isEqualToString:@""] || self.pathName == nil) {
    self.pathName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.JEntry", [JMedia generateUuidString]];
    }

    NSString  *entryPath = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:self.pathName];

    NSDictionary *dictionary;

    NSLog(@"entrypath: %@", entryPath);

    BOOL success = [dictionary writeToFile:entryPath atomically:YES];

    NSLog(@"success: %i", success);

NSLog:

entrypath: /var/mobile/Applications/1B838285-8326-427A-8AC5-0D5567C3CD81/Documents/Entries/70AFCF6D-540E-436E-9989-68793500E35B.JEntry
success: 0

The problem might be that dictionary contains items that are not property list objects as the documentaion says:

This method recursively validates that all the contained objects are property list objects (instances of NSData, NSDate, NSNumber, NSString, NSArray, or NSDictionary) before writing out the file, and returns NO if all the objects are not property list objects, since the resultant file would not be a valid property list.
