My app shares photo on Instagram, to do this it first saves it on a temporary directory:

let writePath = NSTemporaryDirectory().stringByAppendingPathComponent("instagram.igo")

It was working on Swift 1.2, but does not work on Swift 2.0.

Given error message is:

stringByAppendingPathComponent is unavailable: use URLByAppendingPathComponent on NSURL instead.

It looks like the method stringByAppendingPathComponent is removed in Swift 2.0, so what the error message suggests is to use:

let writePath = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSTemporaryDirectory()).URLByAppendingPathComponent("instagram.igo")

Update:

URLByAppendingPathComponent() has been replaced by appendingPathComponent() so instead do:

let writePath = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSTemporaryDirectory()).appendingPathComponent("instagram.igo")
