class G         


        

Answer 1

Because your path you was using is from simulator, on real device it changed. if you added this file to your project, you can get this url via:

func getDocumentsURL() -> NSURL {
    let documentsURL = NSFileManager.defaultManager().URLsForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomains: .UserDomainMask)[0]
    return documentsURL
}

func fileInDocumentsDirectory(filename: String) -> String {

    let fileURL = getDocumentsURL().URLByAppendingPathComponent(filename)
    return fileURL.path!

}
