You must save your db in the documents directory and retrieve it from there. iOS memory management will always know from where to get your DB even if the path changes.

Check this: save file into application folder using setDownloadDestinationPath

For development purposes you might wanna log your DB path. Just add the following:

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *getPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", YOURDBNAME.DB]];

Don't forget to add the extension to the file.
