iOS Swift 3 UIImagePickerController crash

Question

I upgraded project to Swift 3 and I am getting a crash on the line (at various points/viewControllers in the project) :

present(picker, animated: true, completion: nil)

in the function:

@IBAction func userImage(_ sender: AnyObject){
    print("button pressed")
    let picker = UIImagePickerController()
    picker.delegate = self
    picker.allowsEditing = false
    picker.sourceType = .photoLibrary
    present(picker, animated: true, completion: nil) // -> crashes here
}

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
    let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage
    self.imageToPost.setImage(newImage, for: UIControlState())
    self.imageToPost.imageView?.contentMode = UIViewContentMode.scaleAspectFill
    picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

The crash message in the console:

libsystem_kernel.dylib`__abort_with_payload:
0x11108d138 <+0>:  movl   $0x2000209, %eax          ; imm = 0x2000209

0x11108d14e <+22>: nop    
0x11108d14f <+23>: nop    

in my in info.plist I have:

<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) photo gallery use</string>
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) camera use </string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) microphone use</string>

I looked around and did see that having NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription and NSCameraUsageDescription in info.plist solves the issue (UIImagePickerController in Swift 3 and UIImagePickerController crashes app | Swift3, Xcode8), but it doesn't for me. I did clean and build, restarted xCode, restarted Mac, etc.

It might be worth pointing out that my console at startup says:

objc[11204]: Class PLBuildVersion is implemented in both /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AssetsLibraryServices.framework/AssetsLibraryServices (0x11a0d8910) and /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PhotoLibraryServices.framework/PhotoLibraryServices (0x119f02210). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined. 

but according to this thread that doesn't matter https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/63254

my class has the delegates:

class PersonalSettingsVC: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate, UITextViewDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate 

Any help is much appreciated

Answer 1

Try to add NSCameraUsageDescription key to your PrettyApp-Info.plist file with some text description.

Answer 2

for me it worked after I added the following in info.plist Privacy - Camera Usage Description $(PRODUCT_NAME) camera use

Answer 3

Ok, so I figured it out. (3 days of my life) Even though I put the Privacy keys in my info.plist, they were not actually accessed/ recognised by the app. so I had to go top level app -> Targets -> "MY_APP" -> info and put them there as well. after that, it ran. (Solutions from Jecky, Seggy and KAR were great, so I upvoted). obviously a bug, hope it helps someone.

Answer 4

Try this for Swift 3..

@IBAction func userImage(_ sender: AnyObject){
 if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.photoLibrary) {

            self.imagePicker.delegate = self
            self.imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.photoLibrary;
            self.imagePicker.allowsEditing = true

            self.present(self.imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
            self.imagePicked.isUserInteractionEnabled = true

        }

}

Answer 5

try this for your swift 3.0 code,

 @IBAction func takePhoto(_ sender: UIButton) {
    var picker = UIImagePickerController()
    picker.delegate = self
    picker.allowsEditing = true
    picker.sourceType = .camera
    self.present(picker, animated: true, completion: { _ in })
}

@IBAction func selectPhoto(_ sender: UIButton) {
    var picker = UIImagePickerController()
    picker.delegate = self
    picker.allowsEditing = true
    picker.sourceType = .photoLibrary
    self.present(picker, animated: true, completion: { _ in })
}

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [AnyHashable: Any]) {
    var chosenImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage]
    self.imageView!.image = chosenImage
    picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: { _ in })
}

func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
    picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: { _ in })
}

It will present picker in your app and will work perfect.

Hope it will solve your problem.

Try My code

It is with take picture with camera or choose from library.

Just give UIImagePickerControllerDelegate,UINavigationControllerDelegate

Set Property in Info.plist file Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description : Allow photo

@IBAction func dsfsd(_ sender: AnyObject) {

        let actionSheetController: UIAlertController = UIAlertController(title: "Action Sheet", message: "Swiftly Now! Choose an option!", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)

        //Create and add the Cancel action
        let cancelAction: UIAlertAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel) { action -> Void in
            //Just dismiss the action sheet
        }
        actionSheetController.addAction(cancelAction)
        //Create and add first option action
        let takePictureAction: UIAlertAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Take Picture", style: .default) { action -> Void in
            if(  UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(.camera))

            {
                let myPickerController = UIImagePickerController()
                myPickerController.delegate = self
                myPickerController.sourceType = .camera
                self.present(myPickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)
            }
            else
            {
                let actionController: UIAlertController = UIAlertController(title: "Camera is not     available",message: "", preferredStyle: .alert)
                let cancelAction: UIAlertAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .cancel) { action -> Void     in
                    //Just dismiss the action sheet
                }

                actionController.addAction(cancelAction)
                self.present(actionController, animated: true, completion: nil)

            }
        }

        actionSheetController.addAction(takePictureAction)
        //Create and add a second option action
        let choosePictureAction: UIAlertAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Choose From Camera Roll", style: .default) { action -> Void in
            let myPickerController = UIImagePickerController()
            myPickerController.delegate = self;
            myPickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.photoLibrary
            self.present(myPickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)
        }
        actionSheetController.addAction(choosePictureAction)

        //Present the AlertController
        self.present(actionSheetController, animated: true, completion: nil)

    }


    func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {


        let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage
        self.imgview.image = image

        self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
