Application.persistentDataPath not working on ios but working on Mac Editor and Android

Hello , I am working on ios 8 and Unity 4.6.2f1 Pro This piece of code is working on Android flawlessly. I am writing a texture from another method and reading it here. But on ios this doesn't seem to work. After this output : Started Loading image from : /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/XXXXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXX/Documents/Portrait/playerPortrait2.jpg It gets stuck on the while loop waiting for the www request endlessly. string portraitPath = Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath,"Portrait"); string PlayerPortraitImageBigPth = Path.Combine(portraitPath,"playerPortrait.jpg"); WWW fileReq = new WWW("file://" + PlayerPortraitImageBigPth); playerPortraitBig = new Texture2D(400,400); if(File.Exists(PlayerPortraitImageBigPth)) { Texture2D image = new Texture2D(400,400); Debug.Log ("Started Loading image from : " + PlayerPortraitImageBigPth); while(!fileReq.isDone) { //IT GETS STUCK HERE WHILE WWW LOADING } Debug.Log ("Done Loading image from : " + PlayerPortraitImageBigPth); if(fileReq.isDone){ fileReq.LoadImageIntoTexture(image); playerPortraitBig = image; } else{ Debug.Log ("File read failed. the path looked : " + PlayerPortraitImageBigPth); playerPortraitBig = null; } } else{ Debug.Log ("Folder failed. the path looked : " + PlayerPortraitImageBigPth); playerPortraitBig = null; } Any help would be great. BTW i have tried file:// and file:/// with no success. also tried hardcoding the file path directly like : Application.persistentDataPath + "/Portrait/playerPortrait2.jpg";
