how to add custom path in URLByAppendingPathComponent in iOS

In my project I am saving jsondata into local jsonfile named AllBooking.json.

Code:

NSURL *fileURL =[[self applicationDocumentsDirectory] URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"AllBooking.json"];

URLByAppendingPathComponent method creates this file to any irrelevent path !

And
[self applicationDocumentsDirectory] returns

[[[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory
inDomains:NSUserDomainMask] lastObject];

Is there any way that I can give custom path to file ?

Well, URLByAppendingPathComponent works all fine. Problem would be in your applicationDocumentsDirectory method.

I just gave a run for you. Here is how my applicationDocumentsDirectory method looks like (assuming you want to return URL for documents directory; however method name must end with URL for clarity):

- (NSURL *)applicationDocumentsDirectory {
    NSString *documentsDirectoryPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES)[0];
    return [NSURL URLWithString:documentsDirectoryPath];
}

And this is how I called it:

NSURL *fileURL = [[self applicationDocumentsDirectory] URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"AllBooking.json"];
NSLog(@"%@", [fileURL absoluteString]);

The log statement correctly prints:
