NSURL set to `nil` instead of path

I have the following code:

NSURL* saveToURL = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:[self.recording filePath]];
NSLog([saveToURL absoluteString]);
NSLog(@"?");
NSLog([self.recording filePath]);

which outputs the following

2013-08-07 15:51:32.182 SpyApp[49799:c07] ?
2013-08-07 15:51:32.183 SpyApp[49799:c07] /Users/Mike/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/6.1/Applications/C9EDE058-5C8B-4B75-8638-D5A4265B348F/Documents/Recordings/ujaxvehvjlgwfuw

In the debugger, I can also see that saveToURL is nil, despite the fact that [self.recording filePath] returns /Users/Mike/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/6.1/Applications/C9EDE058-5C8B-4B75-8638-D5A4265B348F/Documents/Recordings/ujaxvehvjlgwfuw

Why is that? How do I fix it?

Because filePath is a path, not a URL. To create a file URL, use a different method:

NSURL* saveToURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:[self.recording filePath]];

On a side note, the first parameter to NSLog should always be a constant string, you never know when filePath could have a % in it.

NSLog(@"%@", [saveToURL absoluteString]);
NSLog(@"?");
NSLog(@"%@", [self.recording filePath]);
