在这个问题最初发布的时候，人们可以理解地引导您使用第三方base64库，因为缺乏任何本地例程。但iOS 7引入了base64编码例程(这实际上只是暴露了iOS从iOS 4开始就有的私有方法)。

你可以使用NSData方法base64EncodedStringWithOptions:从NSData创建一个base-64字符串。

NSString *string = [data base64EncodedStringWithOptions:kNilOptions];

你可以使用initWithBase64EncodedString:options:将一个base-64字符串转换回NSData:

NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedString:string options:kNilOptions]; 

或者，在Swift中:

let string = data.base64EncodedString()

And

let data = Data(base64Encoded: string)

iOS 7

        NSData *data=[[NSData alloc]init];
        [data base64Encoding];

我已经做到了使用以下类..

@implementation Base64Converter
static char base64EncodingTable[64] = {
'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L',  'M', 'N', 'O', 'P',
'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f',
'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v',
'w', 'x', 'y', 'z', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7',    '8', '9', '+', '/'
};
+ (NSString *) base64StringFromData: (NSData *)data length: (int)length {

unsigned long ixtext, lentext;

long ctremaining;

unsigned char input[3], output[4];

short i, charsonline = 0, ctcopy;

const unsigned char *raw;

NSMutableString *result;

lentext = [data length];

if (lentext < 1)
    return @"";

result = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity: lentext];

raw = [data bytes];

ixtext = 0;

while (true) {

    ctremaining = lentext - ixtext;

    if (ctremaining <= 0)
        break;

    for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        unsigned long ix = ixtext + i;
        if (ix < lentext)
            input[i] = raw[ix];
        else
            input[i] = 0;
    }

    output[0] = (input[0] & 0xFC) >> 2;

    output[1] = ((input[0] & 0x03) << 4) | ((input[1] & 0xF0) >> 4);

    output[2] = ((input[1] & 0x0F) << 2) | ((input[2] & 0xC0) >> 6);

    output[3] = input[2] & 0x3F;

    ctcopy = 4;

    switch (ctremaining) {
        case 1:
            ctcopy = 2;
            break;

        case 2:
            ctcopy = 3;
            break;
    }

    for (i = 0; i < ctcopy; i++)
        [result appendString: [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%c", base64EncodingTable[output[i]]]];

    for (i = ctcopy; i < 4; i++)
        [result appendString: @"="];

    ixtext += 3;

    charsonline += 4;

    if ((length > 0) && (charsonline >= length))
        charsonline = 0;
}
return result;
}
@end

打电话的时候

 [Base64Converter base64StringFromData:dataval length:lengthval];

就是这样……

下面是一个将NSData对象转换为base64的例子。它还展示了如何以另一种方式(解码一个base64编码的NSData对象):

NSData *dataTake2 = 
  [@"iOS Developer Tips" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

// Convert to Base64 data
NSData *base64Data = [dataTake2 base64EncodedDataWithOptions:0];

// Do something with the data...

// Now convert back from Base64
NSData *nsdataDecoded = [base64Data initWithBase64EncodedData:base64Data options:0];

我想这会有帮助的

 + (NSString *)toBase64String:(NSString *)string {
    NSData *data = [string dataUsingEncoding: NSUnicodeStringEncoding];

    NSString *ret = [data base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64Encoding64CharacterLineLength];

    return ret;
    }

    + (NSString *)fromBase64String:(NSString *)string {
NSData *aData = [string dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSData *aDataDecoded = [[NSData alloc]initWithBase64EncodedString:string options:0];
NSString *decryptedStr = [[NSString alloc]initWithData:aDataDecoded encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

return [decryptedStr autorelease];

}

这是一个紧凑的Objective-C版本，作为NSData的类别。这需要一些思考……

@implementation NSData (DataUtils)

static char base64[] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/";

- (NSString *)newStringInBase64FromData
{
 NSMutableString *dest = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:@""];
 unsigned char * working = (unsigned char *)[self bytes];
 int srcLen = [self length];

 // tackle the source in 3's as conveniently 4 Base64 nibbles fit into 3 bytes
 for (int i=0; i<srcLen; i += 3)
 {
  // for each output nibble
  for (int nib=0; nib<4; nib++)
  {
   // nibble:nib from char:byt
   int byt = (nib == 0)?0:nib-1;
   int ix = (nib+1)*2;

   if (i+byt >= srcLen) break;

   // extract the top bits of the nibble, if valid
   unsigned char curr = ((working[i+byt] << (8-ix)) & 0x3F);

   // extract the bottom bits of the nibble, if valid
   if (i+nib < srcLen) curr |= ((working[i+nib] >> ix) & 0x3F);

   [dest appendFormat:@"%c", base64[curr]];
  }
 }

 return dest;
}

@end

如果需要，可以通过扩大'byt'的范围并在(2-byt)后面附加'dest'来添加填充。返回前的"="字符。

Category可以被添加到NSString中，这样:

@implementation NSString (StringUtils)

- (NSString *)newStringInBase64FromString
{
 NSData *theData = [NSData dataWithBytes:[self UTF8String] length:[self length]]; 

 return [theData newStringInBase64FromData];
}

@end
