I need the full path, yes. I know I can get it using NSBundle. But if the app is moved, the string that was previously returned from the call is no longer valid. I need to pass the location to a c library and reset the location in this library when the application is movedhttp://www.me.com/my/mail/en/images/spacer.gif, so I need a way to know when the app is moved.
