As of OS 3.1, you can definitely do this, using the takePicture
method. You can hide the normal camera controls with the showsCameraControls
property. So you can do exactly what you want, just set a timer or use some other UI, and then call takePicture
in your timer callback. The one confusing thing I've seen is that if you call it "too soon" when the image picker isn't quite ready it appears to fail silently.
