Attaching [UInt8] as data to alamofire - swift

Question

I am trying to uploading some bytes to a server using alamofire, my code is as follows:
let parameters: Parameters = ["data": data]
let headers: HTTPHeaders = ["Content-Type": "application/vnd.awallet-signed-orders-v0"]
Alamofire.request(query, method: .put,
parameters: parameters,
encoding: JSONEncoding.default,
headers: headers).responseJSON { response in
print("Request: \(String(describing: response.request))") // original url request
print("Response: \(String(describing: response.response))") // http url response
print("Result: \(response.result)") // response serialization result
if let json = response.result.value {
let parsedJSON = try! JSON(parseJSON: (json as! String))
callback(parsedJSON["orders"]["accepted"])
}
if let data = response.data, let utf8Text = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
print("Data: \(utf8Text)") // original server data as UTF8 string
}
}
}
The data is a [UInt8] however doing this makes alamofire cast the bytes as a string, if the array is [0,0] it becomes "0,0", this is not what I want as I want it to upload the bytes directly.
Is there a way to do this in alamofire?
Note: I don't want to cast it to a hex string as this is not efficient

Solved, just need to use the upload method and convert bytes to data
var hexMessageData = signedOrders[0].message
let headers: HTTPHeaders = ["Content-Type": "application/vnd.awallet-signed-orders-v0"]
Alamofire.upload(Data(bytes: hexMessageData), to: query, method: .put, headers: headers).response { response in
if let data = response.data, let utf8Text = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
print("Data: \(utf8Text)") // original server data as UTF8 string
callback(data.hexEncoded)
}
}
