Swift base64 decoding returns nil

Question

I am trying to decode a base64 string to an image in Swift using the following code:

let decodedData=NSData(base64EncodedString: encodedImageData, options: N         


        

Answer 1

(Swift 3) I been in this situation, Trying to get the data using base64 encoded string returns nil with me when I used this line

let imageData = Data(base64Encoded: strBase64, options: .ignoreUnknownCharacters)

Tried padding the string and didn't work out too

This is what worked with me

func imageForBase64String(_ strBase64: String) -> UIImage? {

    do{
        let imageData = try Data(contentsOf: URL(string: strBase64)!)
        let image = UIImage(data: imageData)
        return image!
    }
    catch{
        return nil
    }
}
