NSArray *documentPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);

Answer 1

You can use this :

NSArray *documentPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *currDircetory = [documentPath objectAtIndex:0];
NSArray *filePathsArray = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] subpathsOfDirectoryAtPath:currDircetory  error:nil];

for (NSString *s in filePathsArray){

    NSString *filestring = [currDircetory stringByAppendingFormat:@"/%@",s];
    NSDictionary *filePathsArray1 = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] attributesOfItemAtPath:filestring error:nil];
    NSLog(@"Modified Day : %@", [filePathsArray1 objectForKey:NSFileModificationDate]);
}

Answer 2

NSFileManager* filemngr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];

NSDictionary* attributes = [filemngr attributesOfItemAtPath:path error:nil];

if (attributes != nil) {

    NSDate *date = (NSDate*)[attributes objectForKey:NSFileModificationDate];
} else {

    NSLog(@"File Not found !!!");
}

You can get your answer Here.

But only change you going to do is, you need to change NSFileCreationDate to NSFileModificationDate

NSDate *date = (NSDate*)[attrs objectForKey: NSFileModificationDate];
