nsarray - iOS: Seeding an app with items from a plist -

i'm trying populate or seed app items, using next method, called in didfinishlaunchingwithoptions method:

    -(void)seeditems {     nsuserdefaults *ud = [nsuserdefaults standarduserdefaults];     if (![ud boolforkey:@"muserdefaultsseeditems"]) {         // load seed items         nsstring *filepath = [[nsbundle mainbundle] pathforresource:@"seed" oftype:@"plist"];         nsarray *seeditems = [nsarray arraywithcontentsoffile:filepath];         nsmutablearray *items = [nsmutablearray array];         (int = 0; < [seeditems count]; i++) {             nsdictionary *seeditem = [items objectatindex:i];             mshoppingitem *shoppingitem = [mshoppingitem createshoppingitemwithname:[seeditem objectforkey:@"name"] andprice:[[seeditem objectforkey:@"price"] floatvalue]];             [items addobject:shoppingitem];         }          // items path         nsstring *itemspath = [[self documentsdirectory] stringbyappendingpathcomponent:@"items.plist"];          // write file         if ([nskeyedarchiver archiverootobject:items tofile:itemspath]) {             [ud setbool:yes forkey:@"muserdefaultsseeditems"];         }     } } 

the file seed.plisthas following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!doctype plist public "-//apple//dtd plist 1.0//en" "http://www.apple.com/dtds/propertylist-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <array>     <dict>         <key>name</key>         <string>naranjas</string>         <key>price</key>         <integer>0</integer>     </dict>     <dict>         <key>name</key>         <string>peras</string>         <key>price</key>         <integer>0</integer>     </dict>     <dict>         <key>name</key>         <string>manzanas</string>         <key>price</key>         <integer>0</integer>     </dict> </array> </plist> 

the problem that when doing nsarray *seeditems = [nsarray arraywithcontentsoffile:filepath];, says array contains 3 objects, they're out of scope , summary unavailable.

any idea, please?

thanks lot in advance!

after have filepath, check exists using nsfilemanager. if doesn't exist, check file added xcode , set part of app target appears in 'copy bundle resources' build phase. can check target membership selecting seed file in xcode , viewing 'target membership' in utilities inspector.

your update question indicates array loaded, in debugger listed not available. indicates array has been released (because isn't used anymore). indicates typo. looking @ code more closely, see:

nsdictionary *seeditem = [items objectatindex:i]; 

which should be:

nsdictionary *seeditem = [seeditems objectatindex:i]; 

i guess seeing crash?
