 You could use this NSData encoding and decoding implementation for any kind of objects,

 doesn't match the type size. This can commonly happen if you try to read the data after
 updates in the type's structure, so there is a different-sized version of the same type.
 Also note that sizeof() and sizeofValue() may return different values on different devices.
