Using Adobe AIR's File class would be the best option for this. This would ensure that the app works correctly in a cross-platform way.
Here are all the locations you can access on iOS: iOS Application /var/mobile/Applications/uid/filename.app Application-storage /var/mobile/Applications/uid/Library/Application Support/applicationID/Local Store Cache /var/mobile/Applications/uid/Library/Caches Desktop not accessible Documents /var/mobile/Applications/uid/Documents Temporary /private/var/mobile/Applications/uid/tmp/FlashTmpNNN User not accessible In your case, using File.applicationStorageDirectory or File.documentsDirectory seems most appropriate.
