Xcode 8 UIImagePickerController frozen - ios

I just run into this problem. I can call UIImagePickerController as usual but when I pick an Image(taking a photo or photo library), the "use photo" button and "retake" button don't work, and the UI just freezes.
I have done some debugging and found the code won't get into the delegate method.
I didn't change any code about UIImagePickerController. Everything works just fine before. So I'm wondering why this happened and how to fix this bug?
Thanks a lot!
Here is the code :
UIImagePickerController * imgPicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
[imgPicker setDelegate:self]
[imgPicker setAllowsEditing:YES];
[imgPicker setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary];
[self.navigationController presentViewController:imgPicker animated:YES completion:^{
}];
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingImage:(UIImage *)image editingInfo:(nullable NSDictionary<NSString *,id> *)editingInfo {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
}];
}

I figure this out.This is caused by using the wrong delegate method.the one I was using has been DEPRECATED.
We should use this one
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary<NSString *,id> *)info;
and the image information is in the info dictionary.You can get the image in this way
UIImage *image = [info objectForKey:#"UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage"];

From xcode 8 with ios 10 you have to add some key value to the info.plist for accessing the photos using UIImagepicker Controller
Key : Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description
Value : This app requires access to the photo library

IOS 10 UIImagePickerController Delegate Not Being Called

I have setup the following to select an image whilst using an IPad. The problem is that the delegate never seems to get called. I've placed breakpoints in but they are never activated.
.H
#interface HomeViewController : UIViewController <UINavigationControllerDelegate, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate>
.M
- (IBAction)loadImage:(id)sender {
self.imagePickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
self.imagePickerController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;
self.imagePickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
self.imagePickerController.allowsEditing = NO;
self.imagePickerController.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:self.imagePickerController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
// This method is called when an image has been chosen from the library or taken from the camera.
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
//You can retrieve the actual UIImage
UIImage *image = [info valueForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
//Or you can get the image url from AssetsLibrary
NSURL *path = [info valueForKey:UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL];
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
Can anyone see the issue?
Thanks
if you used Xcode8 to run the project, please check the project's info.plist, make sure there is a key for "Privacy Photo library usage".
your code is right, maybe the problem is the info.plist.
I had a similar issue and it turned out that the picker was being garbage collected as soon as the image was picked, so the delegate wasn't called.
I needed to ensure that a strong reference to the picker was made before presenting it.
Once that was done, it worked fine.

UIImagePickerViewController Freezes in iOS

I am using static librrary and there is one class inside it that uses UIImagePickerViewController. I have set the delegate to it and written didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: method within that class. What I want is to open front camera, capture the image when user clicks it and then save it to Photo Albums. What is happening with my code is that UIImagePickerController loads the camera and it saves the photo after capturing when I click on "Use Photo" button. But after that, it freezes but not crashes. I can't click anywhere after that. Any help appreciated. Thanks
// CODE IN LIBRARY
+ (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
UIImage* photo = (UIImage*) [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
NSData *data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(photo);
photo = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:[UIImage imageWithData:data].CGImage
scale:photo.scale
orientation:photo.imageOrientation];
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(photo, self, nil, nil);
// TRIED ALL OF THE BELOW BUT NOTHING WORKS FOR ME
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
// [picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[picker.view.superview removeFromSuperview];
// [picker release];
// picker=nil;
}
Your method shouldn't be static - remove the '+' and replace it with '-'.
Also, in the method you do
[picker.view.superview removeFromSuperview];
I'm not sure that's what you want to do !
So your code becomes :
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
...
}

UIImagePickerController stream type used to append .MOV?

What stream is employed in iOS7 by AVCaptureMovieFileOutput in a UIImagePickerController to append video frames from the camera to it's temporary .MOV file?
A .MOV file is created in a temporary location, and then further appended to by an underlying AVCaptureMovieFileOutput object, when a user is recording a video via a presented UIImagePickerController in iOS7.
I've attempted to use symbolic breakpoints and method swizzling in order to pinpoint one of the following (but with no success). It's possible I've missed the one stream type or class that is actually being used (or that my breakpoints are setup incorrectly):
NSWriteStream
CFWriteStream
subclassed NSStream
fstream
ofstream
ostream
iostream
NSFileHandle
posix file descriptor
AVAssetWriter
AVAssertExportSession
ALAssetClass
ALAssetLibrary
This is what I am using to present the UIImagePickerViewController to record video:
#import <MobileCoreServices/MobileCoreServices.h>
-(void)startPicker{
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
[picker setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
[picker setAllowsEditing:NO];
[picker setDelegate:self];
[picker setMediaTypes:#[(NSString*)kUTTypeMovie]];
[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
if (info)
{
NSURL* fileURL = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
NSLog(#"%#", fileURL.path);
}
}
- (void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker {
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
I really need the specific stream type and a way that I can prove for myself that it is being used by iOS7. Many thanks!
A way you can prove? I am not sure, but Apple favors m3u8 for streaming

Capture image with out saving on Device using UIImagePickerController

Hi is it possible to capture an Image with out saving to ios device .This is a question that is worrying me.
Can any please give me an idea how to achieve it.
Yes it is possible:
- (void)takePhoto
{
UIImagePickerController * pc = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
pc.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
pc.delegate = self;
pc.mediaTypes = [UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
pc.allowsEditing = YES;
[self presentViewController:pc animated:YES completion:^{
}];
}
#pragma mark - UIImagePickerController Delegate
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
UIImage * image = [info valueForKey:#"UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage"];
self.imageView.image = image;
}];
}
Edit:
If you want to save the image you can simply save it to the Caches directory (see the apple docs for NSFileManager for info on how to do this, or other stack overflow questions. This is preferred to NSUserDefaults although that would work too.
If you want to simply send it (via email, share, or API upload) you dont have to save it first. You can use the in-memory version that resides in the self.imageView.image property above.

iPad UIImagePicker Problem !

iam trying import an image from photos library but when i press the import button program crashes and received SGIBART !! but my code works fine on iPhone why ?
here is my code :
.h :
#interface CameraViewController : UIViewController <UIImagePickerControllerDelegate ,UINavigationControllerDelegate> {
UIImagePickerController *ipc;
UIImageView * image1;
#property (.......................;
}
.m :
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
image1.image = [[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage]retain];
[[picker parentViewController]dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[picker release];
}
- (void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker {
[[picker parentViewController]dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[picker release];
}
-(IBAction) importImage1 {
ipc = [[UIImagePickerController alloc]init];
ipc.delegate = self;
ipc.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
[self presentModalViewController:ipc animated:YES];
}
You're crashing because you're releasing picker, but you didn't retain it. You should remove the calls to [picker release].
You should switch to using accessors for all of your ivars. Accessors and dealloc are generally the only places you should retain or release your ivars. picker is not your ivar and you didn't create it, so you shouldn't be releasing it at all.
You should spend some time with the Memory Management Programming Guide. You can get the short version at Three Magic Words.
On the iPad iOS 3.2 a UIImagePickerController must be presented in a popover, not as a modal view.
