Getting DirectoryNotFoundException when saving on iOS, why?

Questions & Answers

Hello guys. My question got deleted for some reason, I don’t understand why. I’ve been searching all over and haven’t been able to find a fix to this problem.

I created a text file that I want to save. However, on iOS it keeps giving me a DirectoryNotFoundException.

First, according to the stuff I’ve read online and based on this answer:

I made a variable set up like this:

FileLocation=Application.dataPath.Replace ("MyApp.app/Data", "Documents");

Afterwards, I try to create my file like this:

FileInfo t = new FileInfo(FileLocation+"/"+ FileName);

According to the Debug.Logs I’ve put, the location where I’m trying to save my file is this:

/private/var/mobile/Containers/Bundle/Application/7CEB4042-4143-4E25-8E49-8D7B92FD28E6/Documents/SaveData.nom

However, I get the following exception whenever I try to save/create that file:

DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path "/private/var/mobile/Containers/Bundle/Application/9B8A0040-90B5-4BA1-A568-9F999FF25122/Documents/SaveData.nom". at System.IO.FileStream..ctor (System.String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, Boolean anonymous, FileOptions options) [0x00000] in :0

Why is that? According to what I’ve read, the “Documents” folder is where I can save things. Has this changed in the most recent version of XCode or something?

According to the question I linked to above, this should work! But for some reason it’s not.

Please help me out. I have been searching for answers but haven’t found anything at all that can fix this.

Well, if Apple said you should use that path doesn’t necessarily means that it does exist already. Try:

Directory.CreateDirectory(FileLocation);

Before you write the file. I don’t have an iOS device (nor a mac) so i can’t test this myself. However i know that on Android you have to create your subfolders yourself ^^
