To get the priv directory always use only :code.priv_dir(:my_app_name)! Though ‘most’ of the time priv will be in the app’s directory, it ‘could’ also be elsewhere, renamed, and variety of other things, and as such this will break in certain situations (like, say, running from inside a tar file or so)… >.>

Application.app_dir does exactly the same :code.priv_dir does minus appending of the priv part. There is no difference between them.
