Question

I have a problem with the UIImagePickerController component. Currently in my app the user can pick an image from the saved photos library with the picker, no problems there.

However, it seems that if I crop and save a photo in Photos.app before picking the image, UIImagePickerController gives me the original uncropped version in the UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage dictionary key.

I understand that UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage works when the crop is done inside the picker, but when done in the Photos app this key returns nil.

So my question is, how do I access the correct version of the image (without rolling my own picker with ALAssetLibrary)?

Answer 1

The solution was simple; I was using UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum instead of UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary.
