Swift 2: Image picker crashes after at didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo - ios

Question

I am creating an app that utilises this image picker code retrieved from: https://github.com/projectwakii/UIImagePickerController-in-Swift
Shown below:
#IBAction func imageButtonDidPress(sender: AnyObject) {
print("pressed")
//show the action sheet (i.e. the little pop-up box from the bottom that allows you to choose whether you want to pick a photo from the photo library or from your camera
let optionMenu = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: "Where would you like the image from?", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.ActionSheet)
let photoLibraryOption = UIAlertAction(title: "Photo Library", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: { (alert: UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
print("from library")
//shows the photo library
self.imagePicker.allowsEditing = true
self.imagePicker.sourceType = .PhotoLibrary
self.imagePicker.modalPresentationStyle = .Popover
self.presentViewController(self.imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
})
let cameraOption = UIAlertAction(title: "Take a photo", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: { (alert: UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
print("take a photo")
//shows the camera
self.imagePicker.allowsEditing = true
self.imagePicker.sourceType = .Camera
self.imagePicker.modalPresentationStyle = .Popover
self.presentViewController(self.imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
})
let cancelOption = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Cancel, handler: {
(alert: UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
print("Cancel")
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
})
//Adding the actions to the action sheet. Camera will only show up as an option if the camera is available in the first place.
optionMenu.addAction(photoLibraryOption)
optionMenu.addAction(cancelOption)
if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.Camera) == true {
optionMenu.addAction(cameraOption)} else {
print ("I don't have a camera.")
}
self.presentViewController(optionMenu, animated: true, completion: nil)
/*
just adding extra text for fun
*/
}
// MARK: - Image Picker Delegates
//The UIImagePickerController is a view controller that gets presented modally. When we select or cancel the picker, it runs the delegate, where we handle the case and dismiss the modal.
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingImage image: UIImage, editingInfo: [String : AnyObject]?) {
print("finished picking image")
}
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : AnyObject]) {
//handle media here i.e. do stuff with photo
print("imagePickerController called")
let chosenImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage
imageButtonImage.image = chosenImage
dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(picker: UIImagePickerController) {
//what happens when you cancel
//which, in our case, is just to get rid of the photo picker which pops up
dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
The issue is that most of the times that I select an image the app crashes.I think it is partially due to some sort of low memory warning, although I am not sure. It is after I click the "use photo" button as shown below
Also, does anybody have any idea how I can remove the square thing whenever I take the photo as visible above
Thanks in advance!

Try using:
self.imagePicker.allowsEditing = false
