How to view the data in sqlite file running in iphone application? [closed]

Answer 1

Grabbing a database in live mode (meaning an apps-live-database on an iphone) you can use the iExplorer for downloading the .sqlite file to your computer and explore it with e.g. MesaSQLite!

Thank you so much for pointing me into the right direction here!

Answer 2

The location of sqlite file (Simulator):

/Users/myUser/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/032D9DFB-FBD4-4204-B137-945F1A02FDED(eg)/data/Containers/Data/Application/C10BDAF7-25E2-42CC-A1BE-C5CC04C7567D(eg)**/Library/LocalDatabase**

I use the DB Browser for SQLite to view the database: http://sqlitebrowser.org/

Answer 3

If you want to view your database when running on Simulator it is located at the following location

user/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/version of SDK(4.2eg)/Applications/4AF938D6-E981-4971-A588-3424B64E7EE7(eg)/Documents/yourdatabase.sqlite

If you want to view the database in your device then you can use a software like iExplorer.

Cheers

Edit : The location of sqlite file has changed.

It currently resides in :

/User/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/version of SDK(eg-7.0)/Applications/4AF938D6-E981-4971-A588-3424B64E7EE7(eg)/Library/Application Support/app_name/yourdatabase.sqlite

Edit : The location has changed again. It now resides in:

/User/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/789A1317-6C55-4615-A72E-65C824D8C6B9(eg)/data/Containers/Data/Application/0470F5FC-0043-46B7-A21C-A436A56ED714(eg)/Documents/yourdatabase.extension

Answer 4

If you want to see data base while app is running in simulator

1. Open finder
2. open Go in toolbar
3. Then Press and hold command+option you can see Library option

then process like this

Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/8FA9F307-45DC-48EC-89ED-E4BDC34CB628/data/Containers/Data/Application/B6105584-49BF-4C0C-BC72-C97FA9B1C194/Documents/database.db

Answer 5

The Firefox extension SQLite Manager is good and free. Another good, free Mac option is SQLite Database Browser.

Answer 6

These locations depends on the device you're using in the simulator, so it makes no sense to copy a specific folder as the answer...

The more general answer about how to figure out the path to the actual database file:

1. On the dock, right click on Finder, select Go To Folder
2. Paste in the following (with your username), and click Go: /Users/yourusername/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices
3. On the top right corner of the Finder window search for the database name you are looking for, then make sure the Search location is set to "Devices" folder, not the whole "This Mac".
4. The db file will show up and if you select it, it will give you the full path! To browse the database content I use this tool: sqlitebrowser
