Can't find applicationSupportDirectory?

Question

There is always a pre-written function at AppDelegate:

(NSString *)applicationSupportDirectory {

    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSApplicationSupportDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *basePath = ([paths count] > 0) ? [paths objectAtIndex:0] : NSTemporaryDirectory();
    return [basePath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"SyncFile"];
}

However, I can't call this method outside this class:

id _appDelegate = (SyncFile_AppDelegate *)[[NSApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
NSLog(@"%@", [_appDelegate applicationSupportDirectory]);

The compiler warned me that it can't find method applicationSupportDirectory... Does anyone know what's wrong with my code? Thank you very much!

Don't forget to #import "SyncFile_AppDelegate.h"
