Answer 1

First you need to access the package path of your application:

NSMutableString* bundlePath = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:4]; [bundlePath appendString:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]]; 

Now add your folder name in bundlePath

  [bundlePath appendString:@"/MyFolder"]; NSArray *directoryContent = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:bundlePath error:nil]; int numberOfFileInFolder = [directoryContent count]; 

Answer 2

Try

 int paths = [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:@"/your/path/here" error:NIL] count];
