Saved image does not appear in file directory - objective-c

Question

I'm using the following code below save an image locally. It works without any errors, and I can preview the incoming image. The only problem is that the image never seems to actually be saved or appear in the Images directory. I use iExplorer to double check, and I have refreshed the folder and the image is still not there. Your thoughts are appreciated.
// I can preview this UIImage and it appears as expected
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:responseObject]; //responseImage is an image from online
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *docs = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString* path = [docs stringByAppendingFormat:#"/Images/image1.jpg"];
NSData* imageData = [NSData dataWithData:UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, .8)];
NSError *writeError = nil;
if(![imageData writeToFile:path options:NSDataWritingAtomic error:&writeError]) {
//This never fires, so you would think the image would have saved, but that does not appear to be the case!
NSLog(#"%#: Error saving image: %#", [self class], [writeError localizedDescription]);
}
I did also check to see if the file exists programmatically and apparently it does exist. However, when I try to reference it within a UIWebview, it doesn't load anything for that image.

Remember that NSFileManagers use NSString paths to read/write files, however UIWebViews use NSURLs. In order for you to load the file into a UIWebView, you'll need to convert your NSString path into an NSURL file URL.
So instead of something that looks like:
/Documents/Path/To/File.png
It needs to be
file:///Documents/Path/To/File.png
I believe the correct way to do this is to use the [NSURL fileURLWithPath:] method.
So it would look something like this:
NSFileManager* fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString* path; //However you got your path here
if([fileManager fileExistsAtPath:path])
{
NSURL* fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSURLRequest* request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL: fileURL];
[_myWebView loadRequest:request];
}

This is too long to post as a comment, so I'm posting it as an answer.
I'm not sure about your if statement there. It does return a BOOL NO if the file operation fails, but I'm not exactly sure what "the operation fails" means. Just because the file is not written out does not necessarily mean that the operation failed. So it's better to check the NSError itself.
Instead of checking ![writeToFile], run the line without the if statement, and then check if(writeError != nil). If the if statement is true, then something went wrong, and if so, you can check the localized description of the error.
So to recap,
NSError* writeError = nil;
[imageData writeToFile:path options:NSDataWritingAtomic error:&writeError];
if(writeError != nil)
{
//Something went wrong
NSLog("File write error: %#", writeError.localizedDescription);
}
