How do I use the updated UIImagePickerControllerDelegate iOS 12 API? - ios

Question

How do I use the updated UIImagePickerControllerDelegate API since it changed to [UIIMagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]? This part has been updated. I also searched here and I could not find an answer.
import UIKit
class adicionarNovoItemVc: UIViewController, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var textFieldNome: UITextField!
let imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
#IBOutlet weak var namePreview: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var imagePreview: UIImageView!
let picker = UIImagePickerController()
#IBAction func botaoAdcFoto(_ sender: UIButton) {
picker.allowsEditing = true
picker.delegate = self
present(picker, animated: true)
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
dismiss(animated: true)
}
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {
???
}
}
Update:
After updating the didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo delegate to :
private func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
if let image = info[.originalImage] as! UIImage? {
self.imagePreview.image = image
self.picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
I now get:
Cannot downcast from 'Slice>' to a more optional type 'UIImage?'

It's not really much different. In iOS 12, lots of the old constants names have been refactored.
Instead of the old key UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage you now use UIImagePickerController.InfoKey.originalImage:
Something like:
let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage]
now becomes:
let image = info[.originalImage]
See the related documentation for UIImagePickerController.InfoKey.
Update:
You made several mistakes in your attempted didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo. You need:
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {
if let image = info[.originalImage] as? UIImage {
self.imagePreview.image = image
}
self.picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

You need to set the mediaTypes of the picker using the availableMediaTypes class func of UIImagePickerController and retrieve the actual image from the info parameter.
#IBAction func botaoAdcFoto(_ sender: UIButton) {
picker.allowsEditing = true
picker.delegate = self
picker.sourceType = .photoLibrary
if let mediaTypes = UIImagePickerController.availableMediaTypes(for: .photoLibrary) {
picker.mediaTypes = mediaTypes
}
present(picker, animated: true)
}
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
if let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage? {
self. imagePreview.setImage(image, for: .normal)
self.picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
