Using ImagePicker in SwiftUI - ios

Question

I am new to SwiftUI. I want to make an app that has an image picker.
I found this article: https://ishtiz.com/swiftui/image-picker-in-swiftui
It says:
To implement an image picker in SwiftUI, you can use the ImagePicker struct provided by the SwiftUI framework. This struct has a pickImage() method that presents the image picker to the user and returns the selected image as a UIImage object.
Providing this example code:
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var image: UIImage?
var body: some View {
VStack {
if image != nil {
Image(uiImage: image!)
.resizable()
.scaledToFit()
}
Button("Select Image") {
self.image = ImagePicker.pickImage()
}
}
}
}
I added the code to my project but it doesn’t build:
Cannot find 'ImagePicker' in scope
Do I need to import something?

try import PhotosUI
For iOS Versions lower than 16.0
you can refers tutorial
For iOS 16.0 + you can use PhotoPicker
import PhotosUI
import SwiftUI
#available(iOS 16.0, *)
struct PhotosPickerDemo: View {
#State private var selectedItem: PhotosPickerItem? = nil
#State private var selectedImageData: Data? = nil
var body: some View {
PhotosPicker(
selection: $selectedItem,
matching: .images,
photoLibrary: .shared()) {
Text("Select a photo")
}
.onChange(of: selectedItem) { newItem in
Task {
// Retrieve selected asset in the form of Data
if let data = try? await newItem?.loadTransferable(type: Data.self) {
selectedImageData = data
}
}
}
if let selectedImageData,
let uiImage = UIImage(data: selectedImageData) {
Image(uiImage: uiImage)
.resizable()
.scaledToFit()
.frame(width: 250, height: 250)
}
}
}
