Connecting metadata with UIImage from library

Question

I am getting images from library as an ALAsset. I get the raw image like this:

ALAssetRepresentation *rep = [asset defaultRepresentation];
CGImageRef iref = [rep fullResolutionImage];
UIImage *im = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:iref];
data4 = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(im, 0.5);

I can also obtain metadata for it just like this:

NSDictionary *data = [rep metadata];

which is absolutely fine, but when I want to upload the picture to a server. However when I do that, the picture is uploaded without the metadata. Is there a way how to send it as one-piece?

Answer 1

I think you are asking for ALAsset , send a photo to a web service including its exif data: see ALAsset , send a photo to a web service including its exif data
