Not sure wether you make your users happy if you add a folder for
your application specific stuff in such a random location. For
temporary stuff, /tmp is a good choice and you can trust for it to
exist, to be writeable and almost trust for it to be local (unlike
Home).
You should probably use one of the dedicated API:s for returning
that directory, for example:
NSString *tmpPath = NSTemporaryDirectory();
That won't return @"/tmp"; it's something like @"/private/var/tmp/
folders.501/TemporaryItems", but more-or-less guaranteed to be world-
writable (on a writable file system).
