How can I open an image from file system into UIImage View

Before anyone down votes my question, I have literally looked all over stack and cannot find the answer

I am making a phonegap app which I can place an image into my filesystem

the url : 

file:///Users/danielnasello/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.0.3/Applications/75EE3563-560D-4CFD-B357-313DD559573D/Documents/Vault/1386252707450.jpg

I can then pass this url to my modal controller to present an image in the image view. the problem is I cannot seem to find the correct way to access the image from my filesystem and display it into my image view.

my current relevant code (self.myImage) is the string i pass from phonegap. it does contain the url string because I am logging it, so I know the url is getting passed. However, the image simply will not display. I tried using image named from one of my library images and it works fine. I just cant seem to find the correct way to present it using file url.

  NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:self.myImage];
  NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
  img = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:data];

  self.imageView.image= img;

here is the code for that.

NSString *filepath=[[NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"1386252707450.jpg"];
self.imageView.image=[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:filepath];

this code is actually correct. It just doesn't work on simulators (shocker), you need a real device
