Pick Video And Pics from photo gallary please - ios

Question

I'm desperately trying to add video picking option to my app. The app can take a picture and select pictures but it cannot select video file. I want the users to be able to select video from the photo library just as easily as they can select a photo. But most people I have asked seem to think it is not possible. But of course, it is not. I have used many app with this feature. Or this is not something I can do with Xcode?

UIImagePickerController has a mediaTypes property. It determines what kind of media the picker can pick. You are not setting mypickerController.mediaTypes to include videos.
