accessing the video inside .tmp

Question

this code works and saves the downloaded file to camera roll if the file is an image but it doesn't save it when it's a video file .

    - (void)URLSession:(NSURLSession *)session downloadTask:(NSURLSessionDownloadTask *)downloadTask didFinishDownloadingToURL:(NSURL *)location {

    NSData * data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:location];
    UIImage * image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
    UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, nil, nil, nil);
    UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum(location.path, self, @selector(video:didFinishSavingWithError: contextInfo:), nil);

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        [self.ProgressView setHidden:NO];
    });

}

when I get the path of downloaded file it is a temp file like this:

/private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/DE97D98D-760F-48DC-AFBB-C61C5E3185A0/tmp/CFNetworkDownload_5DOCCe.tmp

and I think since UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum wants target video's path to save the reason it doesn't work is that it cannot access the video file inside .tmp

please help! it's been quite a while I'm struggling with this.

I found my solution:

NSData * data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:location];
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] moveItemAtURL:location toURL:[[[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask] lastObject] error:nil];
    NSArray * paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString * documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString * FilePath = [documentsDirectory  stringByAppendingPathComponent:jsonTitle];
    [data writeToFile:FilePath atomically:YES];

    if (UIVideoAtPathIsCompatibleWithSavedPhotosAlbum(FilePath)) {

        UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum(FilePath, nil, nil, nil);
    } else {
        NSLog(@"error");
    }

    NSFileManager * removeDownloadAfterSave;
    [removeDownloadAfterSave removeItemAtPath:FilePath error:nil];
