iCloud file Upload error (NSFileWriteNoPermissionError = 513) - objective-c

I'm trying to copy a file to iCloud using the follow code:
NSError *error;
//My Image Source file
NSURL *sourceURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"_219" ofType:#"jpg"]isDirectory:NO];
NSLog(#"source: %#", sourceURL);
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
//Discovering iCloud URL
NSURL *iCloudDocumentsURL = [[fileManager URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier:nil] URLByAppendingPathComponent:#"Documents"];
NSLog(#"iCloudDocumentsURL: %#", iCloudDocumentsURL);
//Setting destination URL
NSURL *destinationURL = [iCloudDocumentsURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:#"image.jpg"];
NSLog(#"destination: %#", destinationURL);
//Copy file to iCloud
BOOL success = [fileManager setUbiquitous:YES itemAtURL:sourceURL destinationURL:destinationURL error:&error];
if (!success) {
#throw [NSException exceptionWithName:[error localizedDescription] reason:[error localizedFailureReason] userInfo:nil];
}
When I run this code I have the following result:
2012-12-31 15:15:30.888 iCloudTest[10614:907] source: file://localhost/var/mobile/Applications/B2202406-BEB8-41B6-A3C4-2327EFB85E54/iCloudTest.app/_219.jpg

libc++abi.dylib: terminate called throwing an exception
Looking at documentation, Cocoa error 513 means:
NSFileWriteNoPermissionError = 513,
So basically I'm without access to write stuff on iCloud... Looking at https://developer.icloud.com, everything seems to be ok (the documents folder is there).
What I'm doing wrong ?

iCloud has been working intermittently since December 30/31, even though everything may look good on developer.icloud.com. There's a discussion going on at the developer forums here:
https://devforums.apple.com/thread/176739?tstart=0
It's hard to diagnose iCloud issues at this point since it may just be problems on Apple's iCloud server. Some people have noted (on the discussion thread) that iCloud seems to be working better today than prior days so it may be worth testing your app again now.

UIDocumentInteractionController weird behaviour on iphone with iOS7

I am hitting the wall with a problem for two days now and i would like your help. Before i start i should say that this problem is on iPhone 5 with iOS7 (I have also tested on iPhone 4 with iOS 6 and iPad 2 with iOS 7). This problem began when i tried to upgrade an application that has been on AppStore (iOS4 initially) and tried to make it iOS 7 compatible (supported on iOS6 onwards).
The scenario is pretty simple. I have a view with is a UIDocumentInteractionControllerDelegate. I download a file from a web service save it on the NSTemporaryDirectory and allow the user to Preview or Open In another app using the presentOptionsMenuFromRect. The code simplified is as follow:
I have declared a #property (nonatomic, strong) UIDocumentInteractionController *docController;
#autoreleasepool {
NSString *fileName = "uniquefilename"
NSString *filePath = [NSTemporaryDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
if(![fileManager fileExistsAtPath:filePath]){
NSData *fileData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:"theurlofthefile"]];
NSError *writeError = nil;
[fileData writeToURL: fileURL options:0 error:&writeError];
if(writeError) {
//show error
}
}
docController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:url];
docController.delegate = self;
if (isIpad) {
[docController presentOptionsMenuFromRect:CGRectMake(location.x + 400,location.y, 100, 100) inView:tableView animated:YES];
}
else{
[docController presentOptionsMenuFromRect:CGRectZero inView:self.tabBarController.view animated:YES];
}
}
The problem is that i receive all kind of errors, i repeat the same process all the time and i get different errors, sometimes it works for many times in a row, sometimes it fails from the first go. The errors i receive amongst others which i will add when i get them again are:
* Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException', reason: '* Collection <__NSSetM: 0x16ff61e0> was mutated while
being enumerated.'
malloc: * error for object 0x177a56a4: incorrect checksum for
freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.
malloc: * error for object 0x1c2c8b50: double free * set a
breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
When the OptionsMenu is showed successfully i see "AirDrop: collectionView:layout:insetForSectionAtIndex:, orientation: 1, sectionInset: {0, 10, 0, 10}" in the console.
I tried enabling NSZombies and putting a breakpoint for malloc error but did not help me in any way.
Please help me or guide me to the right direction.
Thank you.
Bit late to answer, but hopefully it will help other people.
I had exactly the same issue when saving a file and presenting a UIDocumentInteractionController, it was absolutely random sometimes it would would perfectly 10 times in a row and sometimes it would crash on first try.
It seems to be caused by the file not having finished writing to disk, what fixed it for me was adding a delay before presenting the UIDocumentInteractionController to ensure that the file has finished writing to disk

Error building from 5 to 6 IOS

I have IPad application for IOS 5.1, now i'm trying to build it for 6.0, and get an error:
* Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason:
-[NSFileManager copyItemAtPath:toPath:error:]: source path is nil'
"
i found where is this problem, but i don't know how to correct it
in my AppDelegate
-(void)copyFileWithName:(NSString*)name Extension:(NSString*)extension ToDir:(NSString*)dirName withName:(NSString*)newName
{
NSString *folderPath = dirName;
NSString *filePathDocTxt = [folderPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.%#", newName, extension]];
NSString *filePathBundleTxt = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:name ofType:extension];
//when i comment these two lines, my code compiles success, but i need these code
if(![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:filePathDocTxt])
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] copyItemAtPath:filePathBundleTxt toPath:filePathDocTxt error:nil];
}
well the error is source path for the copyItemAtPath method is nil.
Since you copy from the bundle (your app) to another folder that implies that the file is not in the target.
make sure the file you attempt to copy is there and correctly added to the target (in Xcode)
to resolve the crash add an if to exclude copying if the item isn't there / assert it
NSString *filePathBundleTxt = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:name ofType:extension];
assert(filePathBundleTxT);

setUbiquitous:itemAtURL:destinationURL:error: does not remove the item from iCloud

If I send the message
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] setUbiquitous:NO
itemAtURL:url
destinationURL:iCloudURL
error:&err]
to remove an item from iCloud, it doesn't actually delete the file on the Ubiquitous Container. Is this the expected behaviour?
The method returns NO and the error object contains
Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=512 "The operation couldn’t be
completed. (Cocoa error 512.)"
UserInfo=0x20870970
{NSURL=file://localhost/var/mobile/Applications/168EE8CD-4CDF-49BE-AD88-1DC7DD9CF25F/Documents/test.txt,
NSUnderlyingError=0x20863a00 "The operation couldn’t be completed.
(LibrarianErrorDomain error 2 - Cannot disable syncing on a unsynced
item.)"}
The error is pretty clear. You're trying to delete an item from iCloud that's not in iCloud. When you want to delete an item from iCloud using setUbiquitous:..., the item URL (itemAtURL:) should be the iCloud URL. The destination URL can be something local (but is ignored if ubiquitous is set to NO).
When specifying the "setubiquitous" parameter to "no", your destinationURL needs to be the local url, not the iCloud one. You have your URLs switched
To delete an item on iCloud, you can try this code:
NSError *err;
NSFileCoordinator* fileCoordinator = [[NSFileCoordinator alloc] initWithFilePresenter:nil];
[fileCoordinator coordinateWritingItemAtURL:_url
options:NSFileCoordinatorWritingForDeleting
error:&err
byAccessor:^(NSURL* writingURL) {
NSFileManager* fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
[fileManager removeItemAtURL:writingURL error:nil];
}];
[fileCoordinator autorelease];
Good luck!

Playing video on IOS

I have downloaded the source files from
http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/iphone/mediaplayer-framework_mpmovieplayercontroller_ios4/
and the app works perfectly, but when I try to swap out my own video by changing the following code:
pathForResource:#"big-buck-bunny-clip" ofType:#"m4v"
to
pathForResource:#"example" ofType:#"mp4"
the app crashes when I try to play the video and I receive a message in the output saying:
"2012-09-13 20:32:59.106 BigBuckBunny[1081:11f03] * Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: ' -[NSURL initFileURLWithPath:]: nil string parameter'

terminate called throwing an exception(lldb) "
I have my new video file inside the folder with the original big-buck-bunny-clip.m4v file, and I put it in the project.
What am I doing wrong and how do I fix this?
I managed to play my own video by going to the file within Xcode and checking the box next to BigBuckBunny under Target Membership
Check file exits and filepath you r passing is nil:
NSString *filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"example" ofType:#"mp4"];
if([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExitsAtPath:filepath])
{
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
moviePlayerController.fullscreen = YES;
[moviePlayerController play];
}
else
{
NSLog(#"File not exists");
}

howto resolve UIDocumentStateSavingError and UIDocumentStateClosed

I have an iPhone-iCloud app. Now one document has the state UIDocumentStateSavingError and UIDocumentStateClosed. I can see the file on developers.icloud.com with the status "file upload is pending". But i don't know what to do now
When i try to delete the file with the code:
NSFileCoordinator* fileCoordinator = [[NSFileCoordinator alloc] initWithFilePresenter:nil];
[fileCoordinator coordinateWritingItemAtURL:fileURL options:NSFileCoordinatorWritingForDeleting error:nil byAccessor:^(NSURL* writingURL) {
NSFileManager* fileManager = [[NSFileManager alloc] init];
[fileManager removeItemAtURL:writingURL error:nil];
}];
the file is still there. I tried to delete the app on all devices but nothing changed. How can I delete this file or resolve the problem?
It's long ago but still unanswered, so if your problem persists:
For me it works to prepend the [fileManager removeItemAtURL:...] with a [fileManager setUbiquitous:NO...] on the file and then let the fileManager delete the local copy.
Take care to use NSError and boolean result handling of the fileManager actions to be sure it really works. So if you get back an NSError you could see the reason why it failed. That's always good practice.
I stumbled into your question because I get the message "File upload is Pending" after such a deleted file is re-created even if it's some hours between deletion and creation.
