I have downloaded the json files in my App Folder and I want to read that files from my App Folder to print specific values.
Files are located like this : /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/63E66EE9-9A1B-4D4D-AEF6-F8C54D159ED0/Library/NoCloud/MyApp/MyFolder/DTS.json
This is what file contains: [{"value":0}] However the file contents are read and printed in console as I have mentioned below but when I read specific value it gives null
NSURL *libraryDirURL = [[NSFileManager.defaultManager URLsForDirectory:NSLibraryDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask] lastObject];
NSURL *urlDTSK = [libraryDirURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"NoCloud/MyApp/MyFolder/DTS.json"];
NSString *filePathDTS = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:urlDTSK encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
NSLog(@"This is Dts PATH %@", filePathDTS);
NSData *dataDTS = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePathDTS];
NSLog(@"here is DTS data %@", dataDTS); //this shows null
NSDictionary *jsonDTS = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:dataDTS options:kNilOptions error:nil];
NSLog(@"here is jason DTS %@", jsonDTS);
NSMutableArray *DTSvalue = [jsonDTS valueForKeyPath: @"Value"];
DTSValueIs = DTSvalue[0];
NSLog(@"here is DTS Value first%@", DTSvalue[0]);
NSLog(@"here is DTS value is%@", DTSValueIs);
This shows This is Dts contents [{"value":0}]

The error occurs because you are getting an NSString from a file URL and then you are getting NSData from that string as file path which cannot work. Omit that step:
NSURL *libraryDirURL = [[NSFileManager.defaultManager URLsForDirectory:NSLibraryDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask] lastObject];
NSURL *urlDTSK = [libraryDirURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"NoCloud/MyApp/MyFolder/DTS.json"];
NSData *dataDTS = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL: urlDTSK];
By the way the retrieved JSON is an array, you get the value for key Value from the first element which seems to be a numeric value (NSNumber).
And handle the error!
NSError *error;
NSArray *jsonArray = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:dataDTS options:kNilOptions error:&error];
if (error) { NSLog(@"%@", error); }
NSNumber *dtsValue = jsonArray[0][@"value"];
NSLog(@"here is DTS value: %@", dtsValue); // here is DTS value: 0
