iOS Objective-c: how to set and ImageView from an URL

Evening, I'm trying to set an ImageView.image (an IBOutlet in this case) with an image downloaded from the web.

I've already ridden a lot of questions about this in stack overflow.

And I've found this common answer:

 NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.fnordware.com/superpng/pnggrad16rgb.png"];

 NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];

 NSLog(@"imageData: %@", data);

 UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];

 NSLog(@"image: %@", image);

 self.imageView.image = image;

But of course in my case does not work. My logs are always null.

Can you please tell me which is the problem?

This URL is HTTP type so you need to set NSAppTransportSecurity at your plist file.

For that process is 

 <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
 <dict>
      <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
     <true/>
 </dict>

enter image description here

This might help you. Please let me know if having any problem regarding this.

you should use SDWebImage library. It can cache image from url also. and use very simple 

[yourImageView sd_setImageWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"image-url"] placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"photo.jpg"]]

place holder image is showed in case the image hasn't load yet.

I believe you are trying to run it on iOS 8 +

Please add this to your info.plist

 <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
   <dict>
        <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
        <true/>
   </dict>

And everything should be fine :)

WHY ??

iOS 8 onwards http is not allowed you have to use either https or add exception to your info.plist :)
