I want to download a PDF file then open it in a webView. I searched about that then I found this issu. The accepted answer describes how to download and display the file. When I test it, I can not find the file in the Documents because it's stored inside my app. Also I don't think that the file is saved because the pdf is never shown in the webView even if I pass the filePath to be loaded. This is the code of the answer: 

// Get the PDF Data from the url in a NSData Object
NSData *pdfData = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[
    NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.example.com/info.pdf"]];

// Store the Data locally as PDF File
NSString *resourceDocPath = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[
    [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByDeletingLastPathComponent]
        stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"
]];

NSString *filePath = [resourceDocPath 
    stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"myPDF.pdf"];
[pdfData writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES];


// Now create Request for the file that was saved in your documents folder
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];

[webView setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
[webView setDelegate:self];
[webView loadRequest:requestObj];

And this is what I see in the log: 

libMobileGestalt MobileGestaltSupport.m:153: pid 2828 (my_app) does not have sandbox access for frZQaeyWLUvLjeuEK43hmg and IS NOT appropriately entitled
2017-08-01 10:29:06.882562+0100 my_app[2828:1334057] libMobileGestalt MobileGestalt.c:550: no access to InverseDeviceID (see <rdar://problem/11744455>)

What is the problem with what I did? And how can I put the downloaded file in the Documents app of my iPhone in order to be checked whenever the user want like any other PDF?

Sandbox path Error

NSString *resourceDocPath = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[
    [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByDeletingLastPathComponent]
        stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"
]];

Please use your sandbox path instead of bundle path.

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

  • Can you please explain more? Where have I to use `NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);` ? – Ne AS Aug 01 '17 at 09:47
  • Try this.```NSString *resourceDocPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) lastObject];``` – iticle Aug 01 '17 at 09:51
  • Replace your ```NSString *resourceDocPath = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[ [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByDeletingLastPathComponent] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents" ]];``` – iticle Aug 01 '17 at 09:52
  • You're right! It works thank you! Can you tell me please how can I save the PDF in the Documents or iBooks applications that is in the iPhone? So the user can read the PDF after the download any time without opening my application? – Ne AS Aug 01 '17 at 09:56
  • Thank you I used UIDocumentInteractionController and I let the user choose the app where he wants to put the PDF :) – Ne AS Aug 01 '17 at 10:47
