Answer 1

You can do this

Search for documents directory path

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; // Get documents folder
NSLog(@"documentsDirectory=%@",documentsDirectory);

That will come as

   /Users/user/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/270568AE-FB4B-4C57-8819-4D99324D0689/data/Containers/Data/Application/C614A497-971F-4686-9162-3A614AB2C702/Documents 

now go upto

 /Users/user/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/270568AE-FB4B-4C57-8819-4D99324D0689/data/Containers/Data/Application/C614A497-971F-4686-9162-3A614AB2C702

Then

/Library/Preferences/....plist

.plist file stores NSUserdefaults content under Root .

When using the Simulator, you can use this swift snippet to print the location :

dump(NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0])
