objective c - Text in file should not be overwritten

Question

I am using the following code to write in a file.

fileName = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"user" ofType: @"txt"];
NSFileHandle *myHandle = [NSFileHandle fileHandleForUpdatingAtPath:fileName];
[myHandle seekToEndOfFile];

NSData *dataName = [uname dataUsingEncoding: NSUnicodeStringEncoding];

if ([dataName writeToFile:fileName atomically:YES])
    NSLog(@"writeok");

[myHandle seekToEndOfFile];

It overwrites the file. Suppose the file already contains the string "box". Now when I write a new word, "Hello", then the file contains only "Hello", not "box".

What is the problem with the code?

Answer 1

You cannot write to files in the Bundle. As the Bundle is code signed, any attempt to change the files in the bundle would break the signing. You need to move the file to the Documents directory and work on it there.
