All I have is a string with a lenght of more than 500 characters that generates a quite complex QR code.\r\nMy client asked me to pass the data as binary, instead of string, to the code generator.\r\nIf I convert my string to binary, or base64, or HEX, the result is a bigger string.\r\nIs there any way to, for example, pass an NSData directly to the code generator? And will this reduce in any way the complexity of the generated QR code?"}}
