iOS: How To Access The Application Temporary Directory

ios_app_tmp_dir.m

Getting a reference to your application’s temporary directory is even easier than getting a reference to the Documents directory. The Foundation function called NSTemporaryDirectory() will return a string containing the full path to your application’s temporary directory. To create a filename for a file that will get stored in the temporary directory, we first find the temporary directory:


NSString *tempPath = NSTemporaryDirectory();

Then, we create a path to a file in that directory by appending a filename to that path, like this:


NSString *tempFile = [tempPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@”tempFile.txt”];
