Where is my sqlite data stored in iOS simulator?

Question

I created an iPad app on xCode(using PhoneGap) with sqlite plugin, stored data, and then when I want to view the data I stored I couldn't find where I saved it. According to my online research, it should be under /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Device

However when I navigate to the /CoreSimulator file, I don't see a sub-folder "/Device", just "/Profiles/Runtimes"?

When I reopen the app and wanted to check my stored data I couldn't see them aswell.

Answer 1

let dirPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)

let docsDir = dirPaths[0]

print(docsDir)

Get the path printed in the debugger, copy it, open finder and press Cmd+Shift+G. A dialog box of Go to folder will open and paste the path and hit enter. You will be navigated to that folder. All the documents created in your project will be present in that folder including the .sqlite file. Don't try to navigate to that folder manually. Chances are you are looking at the wrong folder.

Also don't worry when every time Xcode prints a different path. Its a change brought from Xcode 6 onwards. Don't know why. But your files(those documents) will probably stay updated.

Answer 2

This is My app's folder:

/Users/***/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/4420949E-AD14-4A4F-9153-53891734BEB9/data/Containers/Data/Application/0A18183F-2CF6-4D72-938D-DF59CFA48CCF

you can find your app's folder by the following code:

NSString *strPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES)[0];

Or just add a plugin: NCSimulatorPlugin
