How can I view the contents of the App Group Shared Container directory when debugging an iOS app?

Question

Fairly self explanatory.

We can view the app's documents, library, tmp directories via Window > Devices (this has been the case forever).

But when app extensions came on the scene with iOS8, the App Group shared container came with them. How can I view its contents?

Edit: to clarify, I'm not asking how to interact with this directory in code. I'm asking about how to interact with this directory in the context of Finder.

Answer 1

Get App Group Path

#define APP_GROUP_PATH [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] containerURLForSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier:@"yourGrpupId"] path]

Following code to view Shared container data

NSLog(@"Shared container data:%@",[self listFileAtPath:APP_GROUP_PATH]);

-(NSArray *)listFileAtPath:(NSString *)path
{
    int count;

    NSArray *directoryContent = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:path error:NULL];
    for (count = 0; count < (int)[directoryContent count]; count++)
    {
        NSLog(@"File %d: %@", (count + 1), [directoryContent objectAtIndex:count]);
    }
    return directoryContent;
}
