如何将NSData对象设置为PFObject？

Question

I added a column location of Object type in _User class. I'm assuming that means NSData type in iOS. Not exactly sure what's the correct way of doing this. I'm getting an error when assigning an NSData to self.location. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Error Domain=Parse Code=111 "invalid type for key location, expected map, but got bytes" UserInfo=0x1740f9a00 {code=111, originalError=Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1011 "The operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1011.)", temporary=0, error=invalid type for key location, expected map, but got bytes, NSLocalizedDescription=invalid type for key location, expected map, but got bytes}

BYFUser.h

#import <Parse/Parse.h>

@interface BYFUser : PFUser <PFSubclassing>

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSData *location;

@property (nonatomic, strong) CLLocation *cllocation;

@end

BYFUser.m

@implementation BYFUser

@dynamic location;

+ (void)load
{
    [BYFUser registerSubclass];
}

- (void)setCllocation:(CLLocation *)cllocation
{
    if ([cllocation isKindOfClass:[CLLocation class]]) {
        self.location = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:cllocation];
    }
}

- (CLLocation *)cllocation
{
    if ([self.location isKindOfClass:[NSData class]]) {
        return [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:self.location];
    }
    return nil;
}

@end

Make the column a geopoint type and access it from iOS using the PFGeoPoint class. PFGeoPoint can be instantiated with a CLLocation.
