SHA256 Swift to Objective C equivalence - ios

Question

Hello everyone I'm working for the first time with SHA256 and I'm trying to follow a tutorial on this my problem is to write the equivalence in Objective C of SHA 256. I'm trying to understand the function that I show you below but I still have problems on how to find the equivalence in Objective C of this Swift function
let rsa2048Asn1Header:[UInt8] = [
0x30, 0x82, 0x01, 0x22, 0x30, 0x0d, 0x06, 0x09, 0x2a, 0x86, 0x48, 0x86,
0xf7, 0x0d, 0x01, 0x01, 0x01, 0x05, 0x00, 0x03, 0x82, 0x01, 0x0f, 0x00
]
private func sha256(data : Data) -> String {
var keyWithHeader = Data(bytes: rsa2048Asn1Header)
keyWithHeader.append(data)
var hash = [UInt8](repeating: 0, count: Int(CC_SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH))
keyWithHeader.withUnsafeBytes {
_ = CC_SHA256($0, CC_LONG(keyWithHeader.count), &hash)
}
return Data(hash).base64EncodedString()
}
Can you help me ?

Working with raw bytes in Objective-C is generally a little more straightforward than Swift. An implementation like this should be equivalent.
#define RSA_2048_ASN1_HDR_LEN 24
- (NSString *)sha256:(NSData *)data {
NSMutableData *keyWithHeader = [NSMutableData dataWithBytes:rsa2048Asn1Header length:RSA_2048_ASN1_HDR_LEN];
[keyWithHeader appendData:data];
UInt8 hash[CC_SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH] = { 0 };
CC_SHA256(keyWithHeader.bytes, (CC_LONG) keyWithHeader.length, hash);
return [[NSData dataWithBytes:hash length:CC_SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH] base64EncodedStringWithOptions:0];
}
Note that you'll also need to import the common crypto library into your Objective-C file as well:
#import <CommonCrypto/CommonDigest.h>
