    NSEnumerator *iter = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] directoryEnumeratorAtPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]];
    int count = 0; // number of images
    for (NSString *path in iter) { // iterate through all files in the bundle
         if ([[path pathExtension] isEqualToString:@"png"]) { // test if the extension is "png"
            count++; // increment the number of images

            // do other things with the image
        }
    }
