NSMetaDataQuery on iOS only works for iCloud, this I know, however the File 
Metadata Search Programming Guide says the following about searching the 
sandbox on iOS.

" In order to search your application’s sandbox, you will need to traverse the 
files within the sandbox file system recursively using the NSFileManager class. 
Once matching file or files is found, you can access that file in the manner 
that you require. You are also able to use the NSMedatataItem class to retrieve 
metadata for that particular file."

I cannot however find which method allows me to use the NSMetadataItem class to 
retrieve metadata for a file and the guide gives no more information. You can 
get resource values  via NSURL, but that's not quite the same thing. Is there 
such a method or is the guide just wrong here?
