How to use the blob storage service from ios?

Question

In my application I need to use the Windows Azure services to store the data for that I am using this:http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/mobile/tutorials/get-started-with-data-ios/ sdk for Windows azure integration from my app. Now I need to upload the images to Azure and for that I was using the same sdk...But later I found that the right place in Windows Azure to upload the larger images is to Blob Storage Client.

In .Net they have the different library and I found this link http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/how-to-guides/blob-storage/ for uploading the images to blob storage.

But how can I do that with Objective C?

After some research I found this link http://www.deviantpoint.com/post/2012/02/18/Using-Azure-Storage-Services-from-an-iPhone-App-Part-1-Table-and-Blob-setup-Azure-iOS-toolkit-and-Model-Classes.aspx but its not clear about How to upload an image and getting the image url in response?

Just replace your account credentials with respective ones and you are good to go..!!

Note: Try to use UIImageJPEGRepresentation instead of UIImagePNGRepresentation because png takes more size than jpg.
