I need to access the filesystem of the App I am devolping on the iOS Simulator
. On Android
I start up an Emulator
, go to the console and type adb shell
, followed by run-as com.MYAPP
. Here we go. I am in the filesystem and can do stuff like mkdir
, rm -R ...
etc. Is something like that possible with iOS
? There must be some sort of file manager... All the resources I find tell me how to programmatically access the filesystem. But I know that already...

@VarunNaharia you only linked to another answer. Commenting on my Q would have been enough to do that. Hence I wont upvote. – four-eyes Oct 05 '17 at 10:22

You can access a simulator's filesystem at the below path:
~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices
Choose the simulator folder correctly by checking the devices.plist
file at the above Path and open the correct simulator folder. You can find the app data at data/Containers
path inside the simulator folder.
