Description

The following code throws an exception:

var myBlob = button.toImage();
Ti.API.info("Blob.nativePath: " + JSON.stringify(myBlob.nativePath));

I would expect this to return some kind of value to indicate that nativePath is not set. Instead, it throws an exception: [ERROR] Script Error = *** -[NSURL initFileURLWithPath:]: nil string parameter at app.js (line 28). In this circumstance, Android returns null, and MobileWeb returns the empty string. I believe that returning null is the intended behavior on iOS.

Test case:

   //
   var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
       title:'TIMOB-9175 Test',
       backgroundColor:'#fff'
   });
   win1.open();
   var myBlob = Ti.createBuffer({ value: "Use a string to build a buffer to make a blob."}).toBlob();
   Ti.API.info("Blob from buffer: nativePath: " + JSON.stringify(myBlob.nativePath));

Should show nativePath returning null. On iOS, currently throws the exception shown above.
