I am trying to save the imageview to core data as a binary data. In my function I have already saved a string and it works perfectly. However when I try to do the exact same thing with (theTitle2) it does not work. I also have class cdhandler in my question below which is what is saved in app deleagate.I think what I have to do is somehow convert the image view to a uiimage then save it.

```
                      func enterData() {

```

let appDeldeaget = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate  
let context = appDeldeaget.persistentContainer.viewContext  
let entity = NSEntityDescription.entity(forEntityName: “User”, in: context)  
let theTitle = NSManagedObject(entity: entity!, insertInto: context)  
theTitle.setValue(enter.text, forKey: “userName”)  
let theTitle2 = NSManagedObject(entity: entity!, insertInto: context)  
theTitle2.setValue(imageV.image, forKey: “pit”)

do {

```
try context.save()
itemName.append(theTitle)

       }
        catch { }
   //

      }

```

APP DELEGATE

```
                class cdHandler: NSObject {

```

class func saveObject(userName: String) → Bool {  
let context = getContext()  
let entity = NSEntityDescription.entity(forEntityName: “User”, in: context)

```
let managedObject = NSManagedObject(entity: entity!, insertInto: context)

managedObject.setValue(userName, forKey: "userName")
managedObject.setValue(userName, forKey: "pit")

do {
    try context.save()
    return true

} catch {
    return false

}

```

}  
}
