For security reasons, iOS doesn't allow a program to access arbitrary files in the system. A program can only access files within its sandbox, see this Apple documentation.

A program needs to get the path to its sandbox using a public API, because the sandbox path is not known at the compile time. That's why you see what you see in the sample code.
