Hi, I just started compile the App upload to my iPhone 6 for testing with the following coding ...

        string strUrl = "http://allianz.mes2u.com/images/pic2.png";
        try
        {
            string localBGPath = "Library/Caches/images/MainMenuBGTmp.png";
            if (!File.Exists (localBGPath)) {
                var webClient = new WebClient ();
                byte[] bb = webClient.DownloadData (strUrl);
                if (File.Exists (localBGPath))
                    File.Delete (localBGPath);
                File.WriteAllBytes (localBGPath, bb);
                webClient.Dispose ();
            }
        }
        catch(Exception e) {
            strErrMessage += "Exception: " + e.Message + ",";
        }

I got the error message : Access to the path is denied ...

Do I need any other setting to access file? please help ...

Thanks for your time.

    I have the same problem. Do you have a solution?

    You can only access file paths that are inside of your app's bundle - this is due to iOS sandboxing.

    There are changes in iOS8 ... the application path. I use the following code to get the path.

                NSUrl[] myNSUrl = NSFileManager.DefaultManager.GetUrls (NSSearchPathDirectory.DocumentDirectory, NSSearchPathDomain.User);

            GlobalVar.documentsPath = myNSUrl [0].ToString ();
            if (GlobalVar.documentsPath.Substring (0, 7) == "file://") {
                GlobalVar.documentsPath = GlobalVar.documentsPath.Substring (7);
            }
            if (GlobalVar.documentsPath.Substring (0) != "/") {
                GlobalVar.documentsPath = "/" + GlobalVar.documentsPath;
            }
