POUIWebView displays locally stored document on simulator but not device

Body
copied!<p>I have an issue where I'm trying to view a document (Word document, image, or video) that I have stored locally. I'm using UIWebView and on the Simulator it works perfectly, but on the device, it's a blank screen (no errors thrown in console). Here's my code to view the document:</p> <pre><code> UIWebView *newWebView; if (appDelegate.IS_IPAD) { newWebView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 768, 1024)]; } else { newWebView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)]; } newWebView.scalesPageToFit = YES; [self setWebView: newWebView]; [newWebView release], newWebView = nil; [[self webView] setDelegate: self]; [[self view] addSubview:[self webView]]; NSURL *nsURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath isDirectory:NO]; [[self webView] loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:nsURL]]; </code></pre> <p>Here's how I'm saving the document locally before viewing. I do think the file is getting successfully saved on the device as it does on the simulator.</p> <pre><code> // Save the file on the device NSURL *contentUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:selectedContent.contentUrl]; NSString *fileName = [[contentUrl absoluteString] lastPathComponent]; NSString *homeDirectoryPath = NSHomeDirectory(); // Create the path NSString *unexpandedPath = [homeDirectoryPath stringByAppendingString:@"/MyApp/"]; NSString *folderPath = [NSString pathWithComponents:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSString stringWithString:[unexpandedPath stringByExpandingTildeInPath]], nil]]; NSString *unexpandedImagePath = [folderPath stringByAppendingFormat:@"/%@", fileName]; NSString *filePath = [NSString pathWithComponents:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSString stringWithString:[unexpandedImagePath stringByExpandingTildeInPath]], nil]]; if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:folderPath isDirectory:NULL]) { [[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:nil withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:nil]; } // Do the actual write of the file to the device NSData *fileData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:myUrl]; // Create the file data reference [fileData writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES]; //Save the document to the home directory </code></pre>
