Are storing files outside the app bundle in iOS a problem with the SDK? I store them at run time in the XCode NSCachesDirectory ( have also tried NSLibraryDirectory), and before sending it to the AugmentedRealityExperience alloc init method

 self.augmentedRealityExperience = [[WTAugmentedRealityExperience alloc] initWithTitle:title

 groupTitle:groupTitle

 URL:indexFileURL

 requiredFeatures:requiredFeatures

 startupParameters:startupParameters

 requiredViewControllerExtension:nil];

the above returns an object and  I also checked that the file exists first. The architect world though fails to load via the delegate method .. architectView didFailToLoadArchitectWorldNavigation:.. method:

did fail to load navigation 'navigation: 

original URL: '

file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/AD11E025-AF00-4E16-9F20-31E311B50F2D/Library/TempFileCache/ar_worlds/atm_locator/index.html'

I know with the sample the files are in the app bundle but I want to get my files from a server in case I need to dynamically change them, and can't put them into the apps bundle at run time.

Many thanks

You can't use NSBundle mainBundle to write to at run time. That is only for static files as the SDK example has . My files are written to  NSCachesDirectory and I get them using 

NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSCachesDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES).firstObject;

Have tried the above also with NSLibraryDirectory or NSDocumentDirectory but all still give the same error

NSBundle URL:  file:///var/containers/Bundle/Application/

Caches URL:      file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/

Can you please try your side?

   NSURL *indexFileURL = nil;

    NSLog(@"APP_DELEGATE PATH: %@", APP_DELEGATE.dataManager.tempCachePath);
    
    for (ARDataEntity *arDataEntity in data)
    {
        NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[arDataEntity fileNameWithPath] relativeToURL:APP_DELEGATE.dataManager.tempCachePath];


        if ([[url lastPathComponent] isEqual: @"index.html"])
        {
            if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath: [arDataEntity fileNameWithPath]])
            {
                NSLog (@"path %@",  url); //works
            }
            
            indexFileURL = url;

 
            self.tempfile = url;
            NSLog (@"INDEX file path: %@", indexFileURL);
		  //  /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/71BBD047-53DE-4DD9-843C-EC83E42D2298/Library/Caches/TempFileCache/ar_worlds/locator/index.html

            break;
        }
