UIImagePickerView blank images?

I am instantiating a UIImagePicker like so:

self.picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
[self.picker setDelegate:self];
[self.picker UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary];
[myVC presentViewController:self.picker animated:YES completion:nil];

And for some reason, it doesn't ask me for permission to view my images (on device, it is magically already allowed access (checked in Privacy settings)) and the images are blank. Yes, you heard correctly. Blank. They're completely white. However when I tap in a location where a image should be present, it shows the image in the editor view and displays the image.

Interestingly enough, this issue had nothing to do with NavigationControllers, UIImages/ImageViews or even ViewControllers. I had a category on NSDictionary that overrode objectForKeyedSubscript. I guess users images are stored or retrieved in a Dictionary and when they tried to index into it for the UIImage, it failed somehow. Or maybe pulled a path that was nil.

The moral of this story is, BEWARE the CATEGORY.
