Question

I knew this question is already asked here. But I am facing some issue which is not getting resolved.

    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *docsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *fileCacheDirPath = [docsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:kATTACHMENTS_FOLDER];
    NSString *filePath = [fileCacheDirPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:_fileItemDataModel.name];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath isDirectory:NO];

Error:

There should be NSURL.fileURL instead of NSURL URLWithString may that help — Prashant Tukadiya
I tried using as I mentioned in question itself, but no luck., It's called didstartdownload and didfail method of delegate. — Sanoj
Have you check that file exits at path or not ?, With fileManager fileExistsAtPath — Prashant Tukadiya
yes that is there, After printing path manually I am check with that url. — Sanoj
But you should check NSFileManager's fileExistsAtPath Method and also observe AttachmentsFolder.Scrum_Methodology.pdf is it correct it is unlike AttachmentsFolder / Scrum_Methodology.pdf — Prashant Tukadiya

it worked with following code

 NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
           NSString *docsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
           NSString *fileCacheDirPath = [docsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:kATTACHMENTS_FOLDER];
           NSString *filePath = [fileCacheDirPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:_fileItemDataModel.name];
           [self.webView loadData:_fileItemDataModel.data MIMEType:@"application/pdf" textEncodingName:@"" baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:filePath]];
