I'm having file saving/loading issue in ios 5?

I have an app that is supposed to save to a file and later on load it. Now, I have not had ANY problems what so ever on ios 4, so this is perplexing. This has happened on all my apps saving and loading. Heres the code: 

- (NSString *)pathOfFile{  
    NSArray *paths =NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);  
    NSString *documentsFolder = [paths objectAtIndex:0];  
    return [documentsFolder stringByAppendingFormat:@"awesome.plist"];  
}

Later in in the app... 

[array writeToFile:[self pathOfFile] atomically:YES];

And then when I attempt to load it... 

if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:[self pathOfFile]]) {  
    NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filepath];  
    achi.text = [array objectAtIndex:0];  
}

My app actually just skips over the if statement (Meaning that it can't find the file I think).

Please help, and if you have different methods of saving files, I would be glad to hear to hear them.

Solution

  • The comment to my question was what solved the problem, but as I can't give him the correct answer, I'll just write paste his answer here: Did you make sure the directory is there? Sometimes that Documents directory must be created.
