Here is a documentation: Core Services Layer

To enable file sharing for your app, do the following:

  1. Add the UIFileSharingEnabled key to your app’s Info.plist file, and set the value of the key to YES.
  2. Put whatever files you want to share in your app’s Documents directory.
  3. When the device is plugged into the user’s computer, iTunes displays a File Sharing section in the Apps tab of the selected device.
  4. The user can add files to this directory or move files to the desktop.

After enabling File Sharing, you could just manipulating the Documents directory.
