iPhone app not making file in device but works in simulator

I have an app and it stores data to a .plist file in the resources group in Xcode (if that matters). And whenever I run it on the simulator it works perfectly with the file. On the iPhone, however, it doesn't seem to be interacting with the file.

Thanks in advance!

Here's an example of how to get Documents directory path, you should write any user data there:

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

You cannot write to the application bundle on the device. It is read-only. You have to write your file to your app's Documents folder.
