iOS - Error connecting to db on real device - ios

Question

I have been working on an Ionic Phonegap project for iOS. There is a method implemented in Appdelegate.m which makes an AJAX request to download a text file from a server, which contains a URL to connect to another server in order for the app to work.
I have made two classes,
WebContent and WebCustomContent
In WebContent.m I insert a particular URL taken from the text file to a sqlite DB and then retrieve it using WebCustomContent.m
Refer to the following code block
-(NSString*)getDataBasePath{
//CHECK
NSString* documentsPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSString* foofile = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"webcontentdb.sqlite"];
BOOL fileExists = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:foofile];
NSLog(#"%d", fileExists);
//END OF CHECK
//SIMULATOR
NSString *databasePath1 = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"webcontentdb" ofType:#"sqlite"];
// return databasePath1;
//REAL DEVICE
NSArray* paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString* documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString* databasePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"webcontentdb.sqlite"];
return databasePath;
}
-(void)updateUserAgeRange:(NSString*)age{
NSString* databasePath = [self getDataBasePath];
sqlite3 *database;
if(sqlite3_open([databasePath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) {
NSString *query = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"update user_setting set valstr = '%#' where keystr = 'AGE' ", age];
NSLog(#"update %#" , query);
const char * sql = [query UTF8String];
sqlite3_stmt *compiledStatement;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(_database, sql, -1, &compiledStatement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
sqlite3_step(compiledStatement); // Here is the added step.
NSLog(#"updateContact SUCCESS - executed command %#",query);
}
else {
NSLog(#"updateContact FAILED - failed to execute command %#",query);
}
sqlite3_finalize(compiledStatement);
}
else {
//NSLog(#"pdateContact FAILED - failed to open database");
}
sqlite3_close(database);
}
- (NSString *)getUserPreferenceValues:(NSString*)keystr {
NSString *retval = [[NSString alloc] init] ;
NSString *query = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"SELECT valstr FROM user_setting where keystr = '%#' " , keystr];
NSLog(#" query %#", query);
sqlite3_stmt *statement;
if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(_database, [query UTF8String], -1, &statement, nil) == SQLITE_OK) {
while (sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_ROW) {
char *nameChars = (char *) sqlite3_column_text(statement, 0 );
NSString *name = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:nameChars];
NSLog(#" valstr %#", name);
retval = name;
}
sqlite3_finalize(statement);
}
return retval;
}
-(void)insertDatabaseCommonValues:(NSString*)urlstr{
NSString* databasePath = [self getDataBasePath];
sqlite3 *database;
if(sqlite3_open([databasePath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) {
NSString *query = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"delete from url_preference"];
const char * sql = [query UTF8String];
sqlite3_stmt *compiledStatement;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(_database, sql, -1, &compiledStatement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
sqlite3_step(compiledStatement); // Here is the added step.
// NSLog(#"updateContact SUCCESS - executed command %#",query);
}
else {
//NSLog(#"updateContact FAILED - failed to execute command %#",query);
}
sqlite3_finalize(compiledStatement);
}
else {
//NSLog(#"pdateContact FAILED - failed to open database");
}
//************************************INSERT************************************//
//sqlite3 *database;
if(sqlite3_open([databasePath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) {
//NSLog(#"URL STRING %#",urlstr);
NSString *query = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"insert into url_preference (name) values ( '%#' ) ", urlstr];
NSLog(#"inset %#" , query);
const char * sql = [query UTF8String];
sqlite3_stmt *compiledStatement;
NSLog(#" error code.. %d",sqlite3_prepare_v2(_database, sql, -1, &compiledStatement, NULL));
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(_database, sql, -1, &compiledStatement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
sqlite3_step(compiledStatement); // Here is the added step.
NSLog(#"updateContact SUCCESS - executed command %#",query);
}
else {
NSLog(#"updateContact FAILED - failed to execute command %#",query);
}
sqlite3_finalize(compiledStatement);
}
else {
//NSLog(#"pdateContact FAILED - failed to open database");
}
sqlite3_close(database);
}
Here, when I print the BOOL variable fileExists, it prints YES, meaning the database exists in Documents folder.
But insertion and update queries fail as follows;
2015-06-22 11:18:18.215 App Name[5510:60b] URL http://www.google.lk
2015-06-22 11:18:22.082 App Name[5510:60b] 1
2015-06-22 11:18:24.103 App Name[5510:60b] success to open database!

2015-06-22 11:18:28.673 App Name[5510:60b] inset insert into url_preference (name) values ( 'http://www.google.lk' )
2015-06-22 11:18:28.676 App Name[5510:60b] error code.. 1
2015-06-22 11:18:28.679 App Name[5510:60b] updateContact FAILED - failed to execute command insert into url_preference (name) values ( 'http://www.google.lk' )
I've placed the database file in the project folder as shown below;
I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please help.

Answer 1

Is it possible this is a file permissions problem? I would suggest right-clicking the webcontentdb.sqlite file in Finder, select Get Info, and under Sharing & Permissions make all users have Read & Write privileges.
If that doesn't work, I would use an SQLite browser app to verify that the database file can be written to and is not corrupted in any way.
