How to install test data on iPhone

Question

I have some test data which I have been using in the simulator by copy it to the applications private Documents folder. I can then open this file in my application running on the simulator and use to verify results etc.
How can I install this test data file on a physical iPhone and perform a similar function. I can see, using the Organiser, how to get data off the iPhone to the Mac but the other way around.
I am missing something obvious?
Thanks, Dave.

Place it into the Resources section of your project then at runtime in your application delegate you can do something like the following (assumes your data is in a file called testfile.dat):
NSBundle *thisBundle = [NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]];
NSString *fileToCopyPath = [thisBundle pathForResource: @"testfile" ofType:@".dat"];
NSString *path = [resourceDir stringByAppendingPathComponent: @"testfile.dat"];
NSError *error = nil;
// replace old test data with new
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtPath: path error: &error];
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] copyItemAtPath: fileToCopyPath toPath: path error: &error];
