"Application Support" folder missing in app directory path

[vashek]

HI All

i am trying to access application Directory through this snippet

NSArray *dirs = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSApplicationS upportDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *appSupportFolderPath = [dirs objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *ourAppDirectoryName = [[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleExecutable"];
ourAppDirectoryPath = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[appSupportFolderPath stringByAppendingPathComponenturAppDirectoryName]];
NSLog(ourAppDirectoryPath);

Out Put
/Users/rajusb/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/9552F49E-7506-4E33-81C1-8B2A1B6AE850/Library/Application Support/AEMSample


after running application on simulator i explored "Library" folder and i found that "Application Support" Directory was missing.

my question is whether i have to create "Application Support" and its sub folder "AEMSample"(Application Name) manually or is it an issue with an iphone simulator?

There is no Application support folder on the iPhone. There's the main bundle of the app and then you have a document and tmp folders.
Check page 76 of the iphone Programming Guide for directories and paths.

scottiphone,

Thanks for the hint,

now i am using 'document' folder to store all the files.

NSArray* paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString* documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex: 0];
