I'm beginning to delve into Core Data and I've been looking at the generated code for the Xcode Core Data project. I'm finding their implementation of -applicationSupportFolder interesting. They grab the NSApplicationSupportDirectory using NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains, which makes sense, but then they go on to do a check to make sure the directory was retrieved looking at the item count in the returned NSArray. If count is not greater than 0 then it returns an NSTemporaryDirectory. What's the point? Is that check really necessary? Will there ever be an instance where NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains will not return the NSApplicationSupportDirectory when asked for? If so, why and what would be the appropriate way to handle this?
