Xcode Access

As a developer, you have access not only to the Documents folder but also to the entire application sandbox. Use the Xcode Organizer (Command-Shift-2) > Devices tab > Device > Applications > Application Name to browse, upload, and download files to and from the sandbox.

Test basic file sharing by enabling the UIFileSharingEnabled property to an application and loading data to your Documents folder. After those files are created, use Xcode and iTunes to inspect, download, and delete them.
