copied!<p>First thing you are passing <code>error</code> wrong. You need to change that line to</p> <pre><code>[mgr copyItemAtPath:srcPath toPath:dstPath error:&error]; </code></pre> <p>Another thing according to your code after the first run, the above line will fail as there will already be a file that particular name. If you want to initialize only once then I guess you could write something like below which makes more sense:</p> <pre><code>NSError *error = nil; if (![mgr fileExistsAtPath:dstPath]) { [mgr copyItemAtPath:srcPath toPath:dstPath error:&error]; if (error) { NSLog(@"%@",[error localizedDescription]); } } </code></pre> <p>And finally <code>initWithContentsOfFile:</code> might be failing because the plist cannot be parsed into an array. This can be because your plist file's root object is a dictionary (the default when you create the plist using Xcode). </p> <p>Since you are able to parse the plist file in bundle it might be because, you might have accidentally copied the wrong file (or an empty file or a plist with root as dictionary) the first time and then was not able to copy. So try deleting the file from <code>dstPath</code> and try again.</p> <p>To check the file do an <code>NSLog</code> of <code>dstPath</code>. For example if you get something like this in the console:</p> <pre><code>/Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/5.0/Applications/194351E6-C64E-4CE6-8C82-8F66C8BFFAAF/Documents/YourAppName.app </code></pre> <p>Copy this till the Documents folder, i.e </p> <pre><code>/Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/5.0/Applications/194351E6-C64E-4CE6-8C82-8F66C8BFFAAF/Documents/ </code></pre> <p>Go to:</p> <blockquote> <p>Finder -> Go -> Go To Folder</p> </blockquote> <p>and paste the path and click on <code>Go</code>. This should take you to the actual directory and check the contents of the plist . Open it as source code in Xcode to see what is the root object.</p> <p>Also try deleting this file you find here and running your app agin.</p> <p>Another way to achieve the above would be to initialize the array from bundle and then write it directly instead of copying the file (but this is not a the direct answer to your problem just a workaround) i.e :</p> <pre><code>NSString *srcPath = [bundle pathForResource:@"MultiSetting" ofType:@"plist"]; NSError *error = nil; //initialize from source NSMutableArray *settingsArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:srcPath]; //write to file NSError *error = nil; //check if file exists if (![mgr fileExistsAtPath:dstPath]) { [settingArray writeToFile:dstPath atomically: YES]; if (error) { NSLog(@"%@",[error localizedDescription]); } } </code></pre>
