You can use imageWithData from UIImage. Like,

UIImage *image =[UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:imageName]]];

your coding is fine

change this line

NSString *imageName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@UploadedImages/%@",appDel.serverUrl,[[sCatArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"SubCategoryIcon"]];

into bz ur URL contains /UploadedImages/

NSString *imageName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/UploadedImages/%@",appDel.serverUrl,[[sCatArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"SubCategoryIcon"]];

yourimageName.image =[UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:imageName]]];

will u need to load the UIImage in quickly` use

when I try your image in browser it showing the error so check once path is valid or not otherwise your image name is valid or not

Try this:

NSString *imageName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@UploadedImages/%@",appDel.serverUrl,[[sCatArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"SubCategoryIcon"]];
UIImage *imgObj = [UIImage imageWithData: [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL: [NSURL URLWithString:imageName]]];
_yourImgView.image=imgObj;
