Attaching Email Automatically iOS

I have been building a survey app that users simply enter information in and its saved to a csv file. Im now at the stage where I need to attached the csv file within the app to an email address so when the user hits submit it sends the csv file in a email as an attachment automatically my code is as follows:

- (IBAction)send:(id)sender {

    NSString *savedFilePath = @"../contact.csv";
    NSData *csvData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:savedFilePath];

    MFMailComposeViewController *mailcomposer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
    [mailcomposer setMailComposeDelegate:self];
    [mailcomposer addAttachmentData:csvData mimeType:@"text/csv" fileName:@"contact.csv"];
    [mailcomposer setToRecipients:@[@"[email protected]"]];
    [mailcomposer setSubject:self.subject.text];
    [mailcomposer setMessageBody:self.message.text isHTML:NO];
    [self presentModalViewController:mailcomposer animated:YES];
}

-(void) mailComposeController: (MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error
{
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}

This however doesnt attach the csv file... I have a feeling it may be to do with the line 

 NSString *savedFilePath = @"../contact.csv";

However am not sure. If anyone can help please let me know... Im reaching breaking point with this one.

The issue might be in the fact you are loading the NSData with a relative path.

NSString *savedFilePath = @"../contact.csv";
NSData *csvData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:savedFilePath];

Try the create the full path to the file:

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *savedFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"result‌s.csv"];
NSData *csvData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:savedFilePath];

Here I assume that the contact.csv is in the document directory.
