I don't think this is not a Groovy problem, so much as a general programming problem.
The first thing I would point out is that in your example APPUID is not base64encoded, there is nothing to base64decode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64 I notice that in your example, APPUID is 16 characters. Is APPUID a UUID (basically a 16-byte integer)? If so, - You may be looking to create an object of type `java.util.UUID`. - You could also possibly use `java.math.BigInteger` - Converting the binary array to a String in hex notation may also be meaningful. It all depends on what your final intention is.
