Apps on iOS are constrained to a sandbox, theyโve got no access to system files.
Files on iOS have a path, but you usually only work with a URL object that contains that path.
all iOS apps are sandboxed, which means they run in their own container with a hard to guess directory name. As a result, we canโt (and shouldnโt try to) guess the directory where our app is installed, and instead need to rely on Appleโs API for finding our appโs documents directory.
