iOS Adding Array to Plist Document Root - ios

Question

Okay so after feedback I am doing this changes to my code it's working but just adding and replacing the first one?
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSString *user_id = [prefs objectForKey:#"user_id"];
NSString *fixture_id = [prefs objectForKey:#"fixture_id"];
// Get path to documents directory
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,
NSUserDomainMask, YES);
if ([paths count] > 0)
{
NSString *selectedPath = [[paths objectAtIndex:0]
stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#-%#",user_id, fixture_id]];
// Read both back in new collections
self.mySelectionsArray = [NSArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:selectedPath];
NSLog(#"Players Selected = %#", self.mySelectionsArray);
}
NSDictionary *tempDic = [[[self.listOfPlayersArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.section] objectForKey:#"contacts"] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSString *avatar = [tempDic objectForKey:#"avatar"];
NSString *avatarSmall = [tempDic objectForKey:#"avatar_small"];
NSString *first_name = [tempDic objectForKey:#"first_name"];
NSString *last_name = [tempDic objectForKey:#"last_name"];
NSDictionary *innerDic;
innerDic = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:
[NSArray arrayWithObjects: avatar, avatarSmall, first_name, last_name, nil]
forKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"avatar", #"avatar_small", #"first_name", #"last_name", nil]];
self.mySelectionsArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObject:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:innerDic]];
// [self.mySelectionsArray insertObject:innerDic atIndex:0];
[self.mySelectionsArray addObject:innerDic];
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
if ([paths count] > 0)
{
// Path to save array data
NSString *arrayPath = [[paths objectAtIndex:0]
stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#-%#",user_id, fixture_id]];
NSLog(#"Path: %#",arrayPath);
// Write array
[self.mySelectionsArray writeToFile:arrayPath atomically:YES];
}
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
Which is now checking for array and pulling it down then adding the object
The plist looks like this after selecting a player;
{
"first_name" = Ollie;
"last_name" = Akroyd;
},
{
"first_name" = Ollie;
"last_name" = Akroyd;
}
)

Stated your code, mySelections is empty, I guess you want to add innerDic to it; moreover you are saving mySelections instead of userSelections.
You should add innerDic to mySelections and save userSelections to resolve your issue.
EDIT
Instead of
self.mySelectionsArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObject:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:innerDic]];
which overrides the read array, add the object:
[self.mySelectionsArray addObject:innerDic];
self.mySelectionsArray must be mutable, so instead of
self.mySelectionsArray = [NSArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:selectedPath];
write
self.mySelectionsArray = [[NSArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:selectedPath] mutableCopy];
