NSData   *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];

You're passing in a file:// URL, which won't be understood by that method. That method expects just a standard file path, i.e. /private/var/mobile/.

You could simply use the file path, but if you're only provided with a URL form string, you can create a URL object and use that with NSData.

NSURL* fileURL = [NSURL URLwithString:myString];
NSError* error = nil;
NSData* data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:fileURL options:0 error:&error];

if (error) {
    NSLog(@"Unable to load file from provided URL %@: %@", myString, error);
}
