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

   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;
        }
    }
    


    self.augmentedRealityExperience = [[WTAugmentedRealityExperience alloc] initWithTitle:title
                                                                               groupTitle:groupTitle
                                                                                      URL:indexFileURL
                                                                         requiredFeatures:requiredFeatures
                                                                        startupParameters:startupParameters
                                                          requiredViewControllerExtension:nil];
    [self startLocationUpdatesForPoiInjection];
    

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?
