I'm a new app developer and am trying to add a button that adds pictures from the photo library AND camera. I added the first function (adding pictures from the photo library) using the new-ish photoPicker, but I can't find a way to do the same thing for the camera. Should I just tough it out and use the UI View Controller struct that I've seen in all of the YouTube tutorials I've come across? I also want the user to be able to crop the picture in the app after they take a picture. Thanks in advance

I cannot find anything documentation re: isPrivacySensitiveAlbum. I've granted my app access to all photos. Not sure what else to try Code that triggers the crash: let options = PHFetchOptions() options.fetchLimit = 1 let assetColl = PHAssetCollection.fetchAssetCollections(withLocalIdentifiers: [localId], options: options) if assetColl.count > 0 { if let asset = PHAsset.fetchKeyAssets(in: assetColl.firstObject!, options: options) stack trace from here on `2023-04-15 06:34:41.628537-0700 DPF[33615:6484880] -[PHCollectionList isPrivacySensitiveAlbum]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7ff09232aec0 2023-04-15 06:34:41.632378-0700 DPF[33615:6484880] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[PHCollectionList isPrivacySensitiveAlbum]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7ff09232aec0' *** First throw call stack: ( 0 CoreFoundation 0x00007ff80045478b __exceptionPreprocess + 242 1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x00007ff80004db73 objc_exception_throw + 48 2 CoreFoundation 0x00007ff8004638c4 +[NSObject(NSObject) instanceMethodSignatureForSelector:] + 0 3 CoreFoundation 0x00007ff800458c66 ___forwarding___ + 1443 4 CoreFoundation 0x00007ff80045ae08 _CF_forwarding_prep_0 + 120 5 Photos 0x00007ff80b8480e1 +[PHAsset fetchKeyAssetsInAssetCollection:options:] + 86 6 DPF 0x0000000100791029 $s3DPF16AlbumListFetcherV22loadKeyImageForLocalIdySo7UIImageCSgSSYaFTY0_ + 569`

Hello Our application is backing up the user photos to some back end. When retrieving the asset data from the Photo Library, we set the flag 'accessNetworkAllowed' to true to get the assets that might be optimized in iCloud. In the application logs, we can see the message below, and it shows as coming from com.apple.photos.backend (PhotoKit) Missing prefetched properties for PHAssetAdjustmentProperties on <PHAsset: 0x160b1ec00> BCF5688F-F7A7-4196-AFC7-A84E8BD95F3E/L0/001 mediaType=1/0, sourceType=1, (5601x3734), creationDate=2022-01-24 23:36:05 +0000, location=0, hidden=0, favorite=0, adjusted=0 . Fetching on demand on the main queue, which may degrade performance. In particular, the message says 'Fetching on demand on the main queue' but I'm not sure if that means that PhotoKit will fetch on main queue or if that mean that our application is requesting the data on main queue. Anyone could clarify? thanks

I have a photo editing app which uses a simple Metal Render to display CIFilter output images. It works just fine in Swift 5 but in Swift 6 it crashes on starting the Metal command buffer with an error in the Queue : com.Metal.CompletionQueueDispatch (serial). The crash is occurring before I can debug.. I changed the command buffer to report MTLCommandBufferDescriptorStatus errorOptions = .encoderExecutionStatus. No luck with getting insight into the source of the crash.. Likewise the error is happening before any of the usual Metal debug tools are enabled. The Metal render works just fine in Swift 5 and also works fine with almost all of the Swift Compiler Upcoming feature flags set to Yes. [The "Default Internal Imports" flag is still No. (the number of compile errors with this setting is absolutely scary! but that's another topic) Do you have any suggestions on debugging or ideas on why the Metal library is crashing in Swift 6??? Everything is current release versions and hardware.

Hi everyone, I am working on a 3D reconstruction project. Recently I have been able to retrieve the intrinsics from the two cameras on the back of my iPhone. One consideration is that I want this app to run regardless if there is no LiDAR, but at least two cameras on the back. IF there is a LiDAR that is something I have considered to work later on the course of the project. I am using a AVCaptureSession with the two cameras AVCaptureDevice: builtInWideAngleCamera builtInUltraWideCamera The intrinsic matrices seem to be correct. However, the when I retrieve the extrinsics, e.g., builtInWideAngleCamera w.r.t. builtInUltraWideCamera the matrix I get looks like this: Extrinsic Matrix (Ultra-Wide to Wide): [0.9999968, 0.0008149305, -0.0023960583, 0.0] [-0.0008256607, 0.9999896, -0.0044807075, 0.0] [0.002392382, 0.0044826716, 0.99998707, 0.0]. [-14.277955, -8.135408e-10, -0.3359985, 0.0] The extrinsic matrix of the form: [R | t], seems to be correct for the rotational part, but the translational vector is ALL ZEROS. Which suggests that the cameras are physically overlapped as well the last element not being 1 (homogeneous coordinates). Has anyone encountered this 'issue' before? Is there a flaw in my reasoning or something I might be missing? Any comments are very much appreciated.

I’m building a camera app using SwiftUI and UIKit (with UIViewControllerRepsrwsentable). My app already is able to capture photos, but I also want to implement the important feature - apply my custom image filter to the image for live preview in camera and when this image is saving to the photo library (like in the default Apple camera app with Photographic styles). My image filter must be pretty advanced because I’m a photographer and I trying to achieve the same colours as I have with my custom image preset in Lightroom. I want to control the image parameters such as basic (exposure, contrast, shadows, etc.), tone curves for each channel (Red, Green, Blue channels separately), HSL (for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Aqua, Purple and Magenta), apply colour grading and more. Currently I’m straggling with implementation of this. I tried to create a custom image filter using Metal (it works with saturation) but I’m not sure if it is the best approach. I need help and recommendations of how developers implement this complex thing in their apps (what technologies should I use and etc.)

I explored several methods to trigger a 35mm camera connected via USB: 1- ICCameraDevice: Unable to make it work with Canon cameras (details). 2- Canon's EDSDK: Works but is complex to implement. 3- gPhoto2 (command-line): Simple to use but requires gPhoto2 to be installed. In your opinion, what is the most efficient way to trigger and download images via USB from Canon cameras?

Hello Devs! Anyone has an idea if it is feasible to override the native camera in apple? So if a user have an app called "xyz" installed, when the user open his native camera and qr code is detected, we display a pop if he wants to continue with "xyz" Thanks

Since the OS was recently updated to 18.1.1 on my iPhone 15, I am no longer able to import my pictures into the Photos app on my iMac. I have to mention that my iMac is pretty old and is running OS High Sierra 10.13.6 and is not allowing me to update the OS to a newer version. Anyway, the main error message I get is: "Some items cannot be added to your Photo library because they may be an unrecognizable file format or the file may not contain valid data". Then, for each individual photo that failed to upload, the error message I get reads, "unable to read metadata. The file may be corrupt". However, videos import just fine from my iPhone to iMac. This was not a problem before the recent iPhone update. I tried closing the Photo app and reopening it. I tried restarting my iPhone and iMac but nothing seems to work. Any help would be much appreciated.
