Problem with sending image

hi guys,

ive created the send button, i connected it with parse com.

now i can send movie, but not a image as message...i think it has to do with image code...but i couldnt find;

- (IBAction)send:(id)sender {
    if (self.image == nil && [self.videoFilePath length] ==0) {
        UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Try again" message:@"Please capture or select photo or video to share" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"ok" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
        [alertView show];
        [self presentViewController:self.imagePicker animated:NO completion:nil];
    }

    else {
        [self uploadMessage];
        self.image = nil;
        [self reset];
        [self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:0];

    }


}```

I think I found the problem, self.image = nil ;

changed into ; [self image];

but still I cant send an image after selecting friends....

2nd change (now it resets after uploading the message properly, but i still cant send a image, while sending a movie is not error causing,,,??!!)

else { [self uploadMessage]; [self reset]; [self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:0];

}

}

I found the problem, I used the different method in imagePickerController.

this is the right one; [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];
