My Mac app is sandboxed and I need to save a file. Where do I save this file? I can\'t seem to find the specific place where this is allowed without using an open panel. This is
Apple's Sandboxing guide is very useful, found here.
You basically have a folder dedicated for your app, as described by theAmateurProgrammer in reply to my question here.
~/Library/Container/com.yourcompany.yourappname/
Here is what I have so far, I will improve it later:
//Create App directory if not exists:
NSFileManager* fileManager = [[NSFileManager alloc] init];
NSString* bundleID = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier];
NSArray* urlPaths = [fileManager URLsForDirectory:NSApplicationSupportDirectory
inDomains:NSUserDomainMask];
NSURL* appDirectory = [[urlPaths objectAtIndex:0] URLByAppendingPathComponent:bundleID isDirectory:YES];
//TODO: handle the error
if (![fileManager fileExistsAtPath:[appDirectory path]]) {
[fileManager createDirectoryAtURL:appDirectory withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:nil];
}
