CFURLSetResourcePropertyForKey failed when disable data backup on NSDocumentDirectory


I am trying to download image files and store in NSDocumentDirectory. In order to do so, I has to turn off data backup on iCloud and iTunes. Below are my codes:

+(void)saveData:(NSData*)thedata:(NSString*)fileName
{
   NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
   NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
   NSString *localFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
   NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
   [fileManager createFileAtPath:localFilePath contents:thedata attributes:nil];
   //prevent files from backup on iCloud or iTune
   NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:localFilePath];
   [self addSkipBackupAttributeToItemAtURL:fileURL];
}

and for my addskipbackupattributetoitematurl:

+(BOOL)addSkipBackupAttributeToItemAtURL:(NSURL *)fileURL
{
   if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:[fileURL path]])
   {
       NSLog(@"File %@ doesn't exist!",[fileURL path]);
       return NO;
   }
   NSString *currSysVer = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];    
   if ([currSysVer isEqualToString:@"5.0.1"])
   {
       const char* filePath = [[fileURL path] fileSystemRepresentation];
       const char* attrName = "com.apple.MobileBackup";
       u_int8_t attrValue = 1;
       int result = setxattr(filePath, attrName, &attrValue, sizeof(attrValue), 0, 0);
       NSLog(@"Excluded '%@' from backup",fileURL);
       return result == 0;
   }
   else if (&NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey)
   {
       NSError *error = nil;
       BOOL result = [fileURL setResourceValue:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES] forKey:NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey error:&error];
       if (result == NO)
       {
           NSLog(@"Error excluding '%@' from backup. Error: %@",fileURL, error);
           return NO;
       }
       else
       { 
           NSLog(@"Excluded '%@' from backup",fileURL);
           return YES;
       }
   }
   else
   {
       return YES;
   }
}

However, the BOOL result = [fileURL setResourceValue:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES] forKey:NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey error:&error]; created the following message

CFURLSetResourcePropertyForKey failed because it was passed this URL which has no scheme: /var/mobile/Applications/CF69D567-1D37-4053-BFA8-5D0FCBD9C2B2/Documents/coffee.jpg

I'm just wondering if any encountered this problem??


Solution

  • Solved. once I changed

    NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:localFilePath];
    

    to

    NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:localFilePath];
    

    everything work perfectly.
