Save File to directory and Fetch in iOS

In iPhone, you can’t save any file in iPhone without an image. if you want to save any file with extensions mp3, pdf, doc, apppleHTML etc in iPhone you can’t save to iPhone by apple not give permissions to do that. So to do that first you have to save all these files to the app directory. here is the example that you have any text and you can save it in the format of pdf in the app directory.

let file = "file.pdf" //this is the file. we will write to and read from it
    
    let text = self.StringData    //just a text
    
    if let dir = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first {
        
        let path = dir.appendingPathComponent(file)
        
        //writing
        do {
            try text.write(to: path, atomically: false, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
            
        }
        catch {/* error handling here */}
        
        //reading
        do {
            let text2 = try String(contentsOf: path, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
            print(path)
            print(text2)
            // let fileManager = FileManager.default
            
            print(path) // path of file or you can say url
            
        
        }
        catch {/* error handling here */}
    }


})

let file = "file.pdf" //this is the file. we will write to and read from it

let text = self.StringData //just a text

if let dir = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first {

let path = dir.appendingPathComponent(file)

//writing

do {

try text.write(to: path, atomically: false, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)

}

catch {/* error handling here */}

//reading

do {

let text2 = try String(contentsOf: path, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)

print(path)

print(text2)

// let fileManager = FileManager.default

print(path) // path of file or you can say url

}

catch {/* error handling here */}

}

})
