Converting Image to Byte Array

I am looking to convert a signature that is captured from the user.

I have the following

NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(drawImage.image);
    NSUInteger len = [imageData length];
    byteData = (Byte*)malloc(len);
    memcpy(byteData, [imageData bytes], len);

Which I saw from a similar question, My problem is I can't use byteData anywhere, it shoots back a Bad_access error. E Am I converting it properly to a byte Array? If I output imageData to console i get

To convert data to string use:

[NSString stringWithCString: encoding:];
[NSString stringWithUTF8String:];

If you want to send it via HTTP use the second one. And make sure it is zero-terminated:

byteData = (Byte*)calloc(len+1, sizeof(Byte));

Solved it. Problem was i was encoding it with the format. I need to do a base64 Encoding. The following the site was was where the answer for the base64 encoder is http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?BaseSixtyFour
