How to put a Property List in the Documents folder of my app when app is shipped?

I have several tableviews in my app and the data source for each tableview is a property list. Currently I have the propertylists saved in the application bundle. However, thats only because I created them in XCode and they are automatically saved in the documents folder. This is fine as when the app ships, thats where they need to be.

However, I would like to put a copy of the property lists in the documents folder of my app as well when it ships. How can I do that? I mean Can I program XCode to save the pLists I create manually to save in the documents folder of my app? Or how does that work? Basically to summarize, I would like to put a copy of the propertylist each in the application bundle and the documents folder

I appreciate any help anyone provides.

Thanks

Solution

You can't. You would have to copy the file over when the app is first run, either by detecting that the file doesn't exist or by checking a flag in NSUserDefaults.
