I have a NSURL object which gives me the path of a local file (in documents folder). I want to populate an NSData object with the contents of this file. Tried using dataWithContentsOfURL: but this fails. I know the file exists because the iPhone SDK returns the path.
Can someone please tell me how I can get an NSData object from the URL of a local file?
Thanks.

An NSURL object is composed of two parts—a potentially nil base URL and a string that is resolved relative to the base URL. An NSURL object is considered absolute if its string part is fully resolved without a base; all other URLs are considered relative.
A value that identifies the location of a resource, such as an item on a remote server or the path to a local file. iOS 7.0+ iPadOS 7.0+ macOS 10.9+ Mac Catalyst 13.0+ tvOS 9.0+ watchOS 2.0+ Xcode 8.0+
// Given some file path URL: NSURL *pathURL // Note: [pathURL isFileURL] must return YES NSString *path = [pathURL path]; NSData *data = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsAtPath:path]; Swift code:
let data = FileManager.default.contents(atPath: path) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
