Graham,
This should work.
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
aPath = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"~/Library/Application
Support/yourApp"];
BOOL pathExists;
[fileManager fileExistsAtPath:[aPath stringByExpandingTildeInPath]
isDirectory:&pathExists];
if (!pathExists){
[fileManager createDirectoryAtPath:[aliasPath
stringByExpandingTildeInPath]
attributes:nil];
[aPath release];
}
