On my app, I have a button that is calling the Camera. I want to, after user takes the picture, save this image to the user's library and link this image with my app (like an ID).
There is a way to do this without saving the image on my databae?

Answer 1

Yes absolutely you can do that!
I recently uploaded a project on Github called "Chanda" where I demonstrate that usage. Please visit the following URL and check out the complete code:
https://github.com/azamsharp/Chanda
Here is the snippet of code but I highly recommend that you download the project and see it in action.
+(NSString *) getUniqueIdentifier
{
CFUUIDRef uuid;
CFStringRef uuidStr;
uuid = CFUUIDCreate(NULL);
uuidStr = CFUUIDCreateString(NULL, uuid);
return (__bridge NSString *)(uuidStr);
}
// user generated images are stored in the documents directory
+(UIImage *) loadImageFromDocumentsDirectory:(NSString *)imageUrl
{
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *savedImagePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",imageUrl]];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:savedImagePath];
return image;
}
// save user's image into the documents directory
+(NSString *) saveImageIntoDocumentsDirectoryAndReturnPath:(UIImage *)imageToSave
{
imageToSave = [imageToSave imageByScalingProportionallyToSize:CGSizeMake(320, 480)];
NSString *uniqueImageName = [self getUniqueIdentifier];
uniqueImageName = [uniqueImageName stringByAppendingPathExtension:#"png"];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *savedImagePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",uniqueImageName]];
NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(imageToSave);
[imageData writeToFile:savedImagePath atomically:YES];
return uniqueImageName;
}

I saved the image's path to database, following this tutorial: http://blog.teliaz.com/2010/capture-saveloadremove-image-in-documents-directory
And save the image to the photo library:
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, nil, nil, nil);
