UIImage from bytes held in NSString

Question

I am trying to create a UIImage from a byte array that is actually held within a NSString.

Can someone please tell me how I can do that?

Here is what I was think

Answer 1

[UIImage imageWithData:data]; will return nil if it doesn't understand the data being passed to it. I would double check your encoding, etc. It's odd that a binary string would hold pure image data without some kind of encoding (base64, etc.). String encodings and binary encodings aren't compatible.
