Where are iOS sim files stored?

Targets iOS

When your app saves files, in for example the special folder.documents, I would expect the find the files here:
~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/[OS version]/Applications/appGUID/

But they aren’t.

So, where are the files stored? :slight_smile:

I used this :

dim f as FolderItem = specialfolder.Documents
textarea1.Text = f.Path

The result is quite different from what you posted. Apparently, it goes into a container, like a Mac OS X sandboxed app.

I found my files in this location.
~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/device_id/data/containers/data/application/application_id/Documents/

The files that I found in ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/… where from back in 2010.

Here is what I get :

/Users/Mitch/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/0B3D6660-CD33-44C2-B62D-212CCB95EAB4/data/Containers/Data/Application/8348D49E-61D1-435B-9769-94C2401AE3A3/Documents

Never use static paths :wink:
