Não encontrei o código no documento sugerido pela resposta aceita, mas encontrei o equivalente atualizado aqui:
Guia de programação do sistema de arquivos :: Acessando arquivos e diretórios »
- (NSURL*)applicationDataDirectory {
NSFileManager* sharedFM = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSArray* possibleURLs = [sharedFM URLsForDirectory:NSApplicationSupportDirectory
inDomains:NSUserDomainMask];
NSURL* appSupportDir = nil;
NSURL* appDirectory = nil;
if ([possibleURLs count] >= 1) {
// Use the first directory (if multiple are returned)
appSupportDir = [possibleURLs objectAtIndex:0];
}
// If a valid app support directory exists, add the
// app's bundle ID to it to specify the final directory.
if (appSupportDir) {
NSString* appBundleID = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier];
appDirectory = [appSupportDir URLByAppendingPathComponent:appBundleID];
}
return appDirectory;
}
Desencoraja o uso de NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomain:
A função NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains se comporta como o método URLsForDirectory: inDomains:, mas retorna o local do diretório como um caminho baseado em string. Você deve usar o método URLsForDirectory: inDomains:.
Aqui estão algumas outras constantes de diretório úteis para brincar. Sem dúvida, nem todos esses são suportados no iOS. Além disso, você pode usar a função NSHomeDirectory () que:
No iOS, o diretório inicial é o diretório de área restrita do aplicativo. No OS X, é o diretório de área restrita do aplicativo ou o diretório inicial do usuário atual (se o aplicativo não estiver em uma área restrita)
De NSPathUtilities.h
NSApplicationDirectory = 1, // supported applications (Applications)
NSDemoApplicationDirectory, // unsupported applications, demonstration versions (Demos)

NSLibraryDirectory, // various documentation, support, and configuration files, resources (Library)
NSDeveloperDirectory, // developer resources (Developer) DEPRECATED - there is no one single Developer directory.
