How can I convert my device token (NSData) into an NSString?

Question

I am implementing push notifications. I\'d like to save my APNS Token as a String.

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application
didRegisterForRemoteNotif

I think converting deviceToken to hex byte string has no sense. Why? You will send it to your backend, where it will be transformed back to bytes to be pushed to APNS. So, use NSData's method base64EncodedStringWithOptions, push it to server, and then use reverse base64decoded data :) That is so much easier :)

NSString *tokenString = [tokenData base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64EncodingEndLineWithLineFeed];
