Answer 1

This changed with XCode 6 and iOS 6 and this got tricky.

The documents directory are now hidden within:

~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices//data/Containers/Data/Application/

It seems the location is changing at each application start, so it's really hard to track. There is a simple tip I borrowed from this article and that I will include for the lazy ones:

#if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
// where are you?
NSLog(@"Documents Directory: %@", [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask] lastObject]);
#endif

Add this for example to your applicationDidFinishLaunching method, should make it easier!

If you want more details, just have a look to the original article

NB: I know the question is old, but well, I found it while searching, so I think adding an updated answer may serve some of us!
