Thanks for writing this class. I’m having an issue with the picker when loading lots of images. I have 1358 images in the camera roll and memory warnings are sent by the OS to my app. In the most severe case the picker crashes with a bad access in the preparePhotos method call.

Could you investigate?

Thanks,
Will

Hello,

My app allows the user to pick photos and videos for upload via UIImagePickerController. My issue is that regardless of the UIImagePickerController.videoQuality value I set, once I Tap “Choose” on the preview screen the video gets transcoded (I see the compressing video progress bar). This is fine since I need to be sure videos can be uploaded over a cellular connection. The issue is that if I put the app into the background (while compressing) the compression seems to be halted. When I return to the app I see the progress bar has not moved and does not resume. What would be required to emulate the preview screen/choose/transcode functionality and manage the transcoding in the background or in a non-modal way using Assets Library or AVFoundation?

You might have to re-install the app after denying it, not certain though.

I present a UIAlertView to the user before the image picker comes up for the first time explaining why it is about to ask for their location and that the functionality won’t work without it. Seems to work well, haven’t had any users complain yet.

How can i grant the app access ,I can’t find that in iphone’s settings.Any idea?

you have to go to the iphone settings and then grant the app access there. It would be a nicer way to catch the error and show a pop up that explains the user why he has to activate this setting. And direct him to the settings. Any idea how to do this?

Good tutorial , When an app accesses the assets library for the first time an alert view vill pop-up to ask the user to allow the access to the device’s assets. If i tap the “not allowed”, The system will always forbid me access the assets even if i restart the app,how can i access the assets second?
