Xcode – Saving a file inside app's main directory

txt file under App.app/here.text ?
Currently I found NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains

 NSArray* dirs = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:[NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) firstObject] error:NULL];

but it places under documents. Can i save it under under Appname.app/here

in what level i can list read files?
/private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/EF4585FC-743D-409D-83A9-B8A298D44C74/App.app

NSString * path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
  [path stringByDeletingLastPathComponent];
  NSArray* dirs = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:[path stringByDeletingLastPathComponent] error:NULL];
  NSLog(@"sss..%@",path );

  NSLog(@"sss..%@",[path stringByDeletingLastPathComponent]);

  NSString *stringToWrite = @"1n2n3n4";
  NSString *filePath = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"main.jsbundle"];

  [stringToWrite writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
  
  [dirs enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(id obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
      NSLog(@"sss...%@", obj);
  }];

    Find the resources path :

    NSString * path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
path            = [path stringByAddingPathComponent:@"myFileName.myExtension"];

    To simply get the file you can use :

    NSString * path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"myFileName" ofType:@"myExtension"];

    Note however that it’s not recommended to save files within the application bundle especially because of code signature.

    Long story short:

    No, you can’t. For obvious reasons it’s impossible to write into the application bundle.
