In my app the user selects an image or take a picture using UIImagePickerViewController. Once the image was selected I want to display its thumbnail on a square UIImageView
Here is a link you can refer to:
1) UIImage+Resize
2) UIImage+ProportionalFill
Here you can resize the view and also add proportional fill so that proportionately the aspect ratio and other functions like crop, scale, etc.
You can use -(UIImage*)resizedImageToSize:(CGSize*)size method under reference link UIImage+Resize above just to reize the image.
Hope this helps you.
Let me know if you want more help.
