That's not 100% true, you can store an NSFileWrapper that contains a Core Data 
store as well as other files, so you can store whatever data you like. See this 
sample code for an example:

It's not perfect but it certainly works.

For the OP, as Quincey pointed out, your question is not clear. What are you 
trying to do?
