[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"copyname" ofType:@"mp3"]

from path = /var/mobile/Applications/62734FAF-1E94-4792-9978-exam/myproject.app/file.mp3

to path = /var/mobile/Applications/62734FAF-1E94-4792-9978-exam/myproject.app/copyname.mp3

function = copyItemAtPath

But i got the error "The operation couldn’t be completed. (Cocoa error 513.)"

Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

Use

NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];

[fileManager copyItemAtPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"FileNameToBeCopied" ofType:@"mp3"]
                     toPath:[[[NSBundle mainBundle]resourcePath]stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"NewFileName.mp3"] error:nil];

Bundles are read-only, it's not possible to write to them.

There are, however, many places where you can store your data. You can use the Application Support Folder, or for temporary data you can also use the NSTemporaryDirectory() function to get a temporary directory.

This will also work in sandboxed applications.
