Determines the directory containing the resources for the NSBundle with the specified bundle identifier.

+ (id)directoryForBundleWithIdentifier:(NSString *)bundleID

Parameters

`bundleID`	The bundle identifier.

Return Value

The directory containing the resources for the NSBundle with the identifier bundleID, or nil if it couldn’t be found.
