Equivalent Swift 3 Code:

let filePath = "/Applications/MySample.app"
if (FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: filePath)) {
    // avoid open add friend
}

Swift 2

let filePath = "/Applications/MySample.app"
if (NSFileManager.defaultManager().fileExistsAtPath(filePath))
{
    // avoid open add friend
}

Some years after the question has been asked I recommend to take rewrite literally and use the URL related API

let fileURL = URL(fileURLWithPath:"/Applications/MySample.app")
if let _ = try? fileURL.checkResourceIsReachable()  {
   // file exists
}

let path = "/Applications/MySample.app"
let hasFile = FileManager().fileExists(atPath: path)
if hasFile {
    // use file
}
else {
    // possibly inform user the file does not exist
}
