NSItemProvider to photo formats like uiimage or alasset

Question

How do I get the image from a NSItemProvider file? When I use -loadItemForTypeIdentifier:kUTTypeImage , I get a NSURL that looks like this

file:///var/mobile/Media/DCIM/103APPLE/IMG_3349.JPG

what can I do with it? Thanks!

simply use

[imageItemProvider loadItemForTypeIdentifier:(NSString *)kUTTypeImage options:nil completionHandler:^(id item, NSError *error) {
        if (item)
        {
            NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:item];
        }

do whatever you want with data
