Video upload error when choosing from library - ios

Question

I am trying to upload a video from my library to Firebase storage in my application, but it seems to be resulting in an error. This does not happen if the video has been captured using UIImagePicker, it only happens when the user pickes an already taken video. I am using XCode 11.0 beta (11M336w) and iOS 13 beta 3.
My ImagePicker class:
import UIKit
import AVFoundation
import CropViewController
public protocol ImagePickerDelegate: class {
func didSelect(image: UIImage?)
func didSelect(fileUrl: URL)
}
open class ImagePicker: NSObject, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate, CropViewControllerDelegate {
private let pickerController: UIImagePickerController
private weak var presentationController: UIViewController?
private weak var delegate: ImagePickerDelegate?
private var editing = false
private var croppingStyle: CropViewCroppingStyle!
public init(presentationController: UIViewController, delegate: ImagePickerDelegate, editing: Bool, croppingStyle: CropViewCroppingStyle, mediaTypes: [String]?) {
self.pickerController = UIImagePickerController()
super.init()
self.presentationController = presentationController
self.delegate = delegate
self.pickerController.delegate = self
self.editing = editing
self.croppingStyle = croppingStyle
if let mediaTypes = mediaTypes {
self.pickerController.mediaTypes = mediaTypes
} else if let mediaTypes = UIImagePickerController.availableMediaTypes(for: .camera) {
self.pickerController.mediaTypes = mediaTypes
}
self.pickerController.sourceType = .camera
self.pickerController.showsCameraControls = true
self.pickerController.videoQuality = .typeHigh
self.pickerController.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = nil
self.pickerController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem?.setTitleTextAttributes(nil, for: .normal)
self.pickerController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem?.setTitleTextAttributes(nil, for: .highlighted)
}
private func action(for type: UIImagePickerController.SourceType, title: String) -> UIAlertAction? {
guard UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(type) else {
return nil
}
return UIAlertAction(title: title, style: .default) { [unowned self] _ in
self.pickerController.sourceType = type
self.presentationController?.present(self.pickerController, animated: true)
}
}
public func present(from sourceView: UIView) {
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
if let action = self.action(for: .camera, title: "Take photo or video") {
alertController.addAction(action)
}
if let action = self.action(for: .photoLibrary, title: "Choose from library") {
alertController.addAction(action)
}
let cancel = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil)
cancel.setValue(UIColor.red, forKey: "titleTextColor")
alertController.addAction(cancel)
if UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .pad {
alertController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = sourceView
alertController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceRect = sourceView.bounds
alertController.popoverPresentationController?.permittedArrowDirections = [.down, .up]
}
self.presentationController?.present(alertController, animated: true)
}
private func pickerController(_ controller: UIImagePickerController, didSelect image: UIImage?) {
self.delegate?.didSelect(image: image)
controller.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
private func pickerController(_ controller: UIImagePickerController, didSelectVideo videoUrl: URL) {
self.delegate?.didSelect(fileUrl: videoUrl)
controller.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
public func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
self.pickerController(picker, didSelect: nil)
}
var picker: UIImagePickerController!
public func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey: Any]) {
if let videoUrl = info[.mediaURL] as? URL {
self.pickerController(picker, didSelectVideo: videoUrl)
return
}
if let image = info[.originalImage] as? UIImage {
if editing {
let cropViewController = CropViewController(croppingStyle: croppingStyle, image: image)
cropViewController.delegate = self
self.picker = picker
self.presentationController?.present(cropViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else {
self.pickerController(picker, didSelect: image)
}
} else {
self.pickerController(picker, didSelect: nil)
}
}
public func cropViewController(_ cropViewController: CropViewController, didCropToImage image: UIImage, withRect cropRect: CGRect, angle: Int) {
self.pickerController(picker, didSelect: image)
}
}
I present the viewcontroller with the following function inside my UITableView class (I just call this function when a button has been pressed):
func choose() {
let imagePicker = ImagePicker(presentationController: self, delegate: self, editing: false, croppingStyle: .default, mediaTypes: nil)
imagePicker.present(from: view)
}
Then in the imagepicker delegate I use this code:
func didSelect(image: UIImage?) {
//
}
func didSelect(fileUrl: URL) {
let uuid = NSUUID().uuidString
let path = uuid + "." + fileUrl.pathExtension
let uploadTask = Storage.storage().reference(withPath: "message_videos/\(path)").putFile(from: fileUrl, metadata: nil) { (metadata, error) in
if let error = error {
print(error)
return
}
print("success!")
}
}
When executed, this results in the following console prints:

Is there a way to resolve this?

Answer 1

So I was able to solve this issue in my app by converting the video to Data and uploading that using the putData function from Firebase Storage API.
I'm not exactly sure why this change was necessary with iOS 13, but I hope this helps.
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {
//ensure user picked a video and you have the URL
guard let mediaType = info[.mediaType] as? String, mediaType == "public.movie", let movieURL = info[.mediaURL] as? URL else {
dismiss(animated: true)
return
}
uploadVideo(url: movieURL)
//continue code your here...
}
private func uploadVideo(url: URL) {
do {
//convert video to Data
let videoData = try Data(contentsOf: movieURL)
//build storage "path"
let uniqueID = UUID().uuidString
let path = "message_videos/" + uniqueID
let storageRef = Storage.storage().reference().child(path)
//use metadata to specify it's a video
let uploadMetadata = StorageMetadata()
uploadMetadata.contentType = "video/quicktime"
//upload via putData
let uploadTask = storageRef.putData(videoData, metadata: uploadMetadata) { (metadata, error) in
if let error = error {
//handle upload error
} else {
//successful upload
}
} catch {
//handle video -> Data error
}
}
}
