Creating place on QuickBlox

Question

I am using QuickBlox in my iOS app and trying to add data in Places table

QBLPlace *place = [QBLPlace place];
place.geoDataID = 34691;
place.photoID = 447;
place.title = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[aView.annotation title]];
place.address = @"London, Gadge st, 34";
place.placeDescription = @"My place description";
place.latitude = pinLocation.coordinate.latitude;
place.longitude = pinLocation.coordinate.longitude;
[QBLocation createPlace:place delegate:self];

but I am not able to add place. Below is the console log

The right way to create place is:

QBLPlace *place = [QBLPlace place];
place.geoDataID = 34691;
place.photoID = 447;
place.title = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[aView.annotation title]];
place.address = @"London, Gadge st, 34";
place.placeDescription = @"My place description";

[QBLocation createPlace:place delegate:self];

where:

• geoDataID - ID of QBLGeoData object
• photoID - ID of QBCBlob object

Your error says that you have to create file with photo and then connect it to place.

To upload file please use this code:

NSData *file = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Hotel47" ofType:@"png"]];

[QBContent TUploadFile:file fileName:@"Hotel47 Image" contentType:@"image/png" isPublic:YES delegate:self]; 

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark QBActionStatusDelegate

- (void)completedWithResult:(Result *)result{
    // Upload file result
    if(result.success && [result isKindOfClass:[QBCFileUploadTaskResult class]]){
        // File uploaded, do something

        QBCBlob *uploadedFile  = ((QBCFileUploadTaskResult *)result).uploadedBlob;

        NSUInteger photoID = uploadedFile.ID; // use this as photo IS for place
    }else{
        NSLog("errors=%@", result.errors);
    }
}

To create GeoData please use next code:

QBLGeoData *geodata = [QBLGeoData geoData];
geodata.latitude = 23.2344;
geodata.longitude = -12.23523;
geodata.status = @"Hello, world";

[QBLocation createGeoData:geodata delegate:self];

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark QBActionStatusDelegate

- (void)completedWithResult:(Result *)result{
    // Check-in result
    if(result.success && [result isKindOfClass:QBLGeoDataResult.class]){
        QBLGeoDataResult *checkinResult = (QBLGeoDataResult *)result;

        NSUInteger geoDataID = checkinResult.geoData.ID; // your geo data ID
    }else{
        NSLog(@"errors=%@", result.errors);
    }
}
