Uploading image from gallery with AFNetworking 3.0 - ios

Question

I checked the code example to upload images via multipart.
But I don't know how get the #"file://path/to/image.jpg" value.
This is what I tried:
-(void) uploadAvatar:(NSString*)file
success:(void (^)())success failure:(void (^)())failure {
NSString* url = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#%#", res, kApiRest, kApiServiceAvatar];
//NSString* filepath = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#", res, kApiRest];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer] multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" URLString:url parameters:nil constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:file] name:#"file" fileName:#"image.jpg" mimeType:#"image/*" error:nil];
} error:nil];
//AFURLSessionManager *manager = [[AFURLSessionManager alloc] initWithSessionConfiguration:[NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration]];
NSURLSessionUploadTask *uploadTask;
uploadTask = [self.manager
uploadTaskWithStreamedRequest:request
progress:^(NSProgress * _Nonnull uploadProgress) {
// This is not called back on the main queue.
// You are responsible for dispatching to the main queue for UI updates
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
//Update the progress view
// [progressView setProgress:uploadProgress.fractionCompleted];
});
}
completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse * _Nonnull response, id _Nullable responseObject, NSError * _Nullable error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
failure();
} else {
NSLog(#"%# %#", response, responseObject);
success();
}
}];
[uploadTask resume];
}
#pragma mark - UIImagePickerControllerDelegate
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
NSString *mediaType = [info objectForKey: UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];
UIImage *imageToUse;
// Imagen
if (CFStringCompare ((CFStringRef) mediaType, kUTTypeImage, 0) == kCFCompareEqualTo) {
imageToUse = (UIImage *) [info objectForKey: UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
imageToUse = [imageToUse scaleToMaxWidth:kAvatarSize];
NSData* fileHD = UIImagePNGRepresentation(imageToUse);
APIAvatar* api = [[APIAvatar alloc] initWithUser:_user.jid password:_user.pass];
//I have the NSData object fileHD, how can I get the path?
[api uploadAvatar:[fileHD ] success:<#^(void)success#> failure:<#^(void)failure#>]
}
}

Try this solution
-(void) uploadAvatar:(NSData*)fileData
success:(void (^)())success failure:(void (^)())failure {
NSString* url = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#%#", res, kApiRest, kApiServiceAvatar];
//NSString* filepath = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#", res, kApiRest];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer] multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" URLString:url parameters:nil constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileData: fileData
name:#"file"
fileName:#"image.jpg" mimeType:#"image/*"];
} error:nil];
//AFURLSessionManager *manager = [[AFURLSessionManager alloc] initWithSessionConfiguration:[NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration]];
NSURLSessionUploadTask *uploadTask;
uploadTask = [self.manager
uploadTaskWithStreamedRequest:request
progress:^(NSProgress * _Nonnull uploadProgress) {
// This is not called back on the main queue.
// You are responsible for dispatching to the main queue for UI updates
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
//Update the progress view
// [progressView setProgress:uploadProgress.fractionCompleted];
});
}
completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse * _Nonnull response, id _Nullable responseObject, NSError * _Nullable error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
failure();
} else {
NSLog(#"%# %#", response, responseObject);
success();
}
}];
[uploadTask resume];
}
#pragma mark - UIImagePickerControllerDelegate
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
NSString *mediaType = [info objectForKey: UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];
UIImage *imageToUse;
// Imagen
if (CFStringCompare ((CFStringRef) mediaType, kUTTypeImage, 0) == kCFCompareEqualTo) {
imageToUse = (UIImage *) [info objectForKey: UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
imageToUse = [imageToUse scaleToMaxWidth:kAvatarSize];
NSData* fileHD = UIImagePNGRepresentation(imageToUse);
APIAvatar* api = [[APIAvatar alloc] initWithUser:_user.jid password:_user.pass];
//I have the NSData object fileHD, how can I get the path?
[api uploadAvatar: fileHD success:<#^(void)success#> failure:<#^(void)failure#>]
}
}
Update
If you want set headers, manager's headers are ignored.
Instead they should be set on request object.
[request setValue:#"myheader1" forHTTPHeaderField:#"key1"];
[request setValue:#"myheader2" forHTTPHeaderField:#"key2"];
