Copy Files Resource to Documents

Targets iOS
1

I am copying the file from Resources to a folder in Documents but I can’t see the file after copying. Following it in the debugger it says it has been copied. What am I missing?

Var source As FolderItem
Var destination As FolderItem

// File inside Resources
source = SpecialFolder.Resource("Sample.bgcktext")

Var ASfolder As FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Documents.Child("BGCKData")

If ASfolder.exists = false then
  ASfolder.CreateFolder
End if

// Target location
destination = SpecialFolder.Documents.child("BGCKData").child("Sample.bgcktext")

If source <> Nil And source.Exists Then
  If Not destination.Exists Then
    source.CopyTo(destination)
  End If
End If

hi @Martin_Fitzgibbons

If you’re debugging it… where “destination” path points to? That would be a hint… :slight_smile:

The documents folder is not visible to the user, if that’s what you are expecting.

If you want to be able to see documents for your app when it is plugged into the mac, the app needs a plist entry, which I think is this one:

<key>UIFileSharingEnabled</key>  <true/>
