There are some standard directories like File.applicationStorageDirectory which can be used for saving files.

On iOS, you cannot access files using absolute path. You may use the resolvePath() method for accessing files. For example,

File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("abc.txt");

will return a File object poinitng to the file abc.txt in the ApplicationStorageDirectory of iOS.
