Question

I want use UIImagePickerController, and I found this example

Added to .h

@interface MenuScene : CCLayer <UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate>
{
    UIWindow *window;
    UIImage *newImage;
}

Added to .m

-(void)pickPhoto:(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType)sourceType{    
    UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc]init];
    picker.delegate = self;
    picker.sourceType = sourceType;
    picker.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;
    [picker presentViewController:picker animated:NO completion:nil];
    [[[CCDirector sharedDirector] view] addSubview:picker.view];
}

-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
        didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info{
    newImage = [info objectForKey:@"UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage"];
    [picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
    [picker.view removeFromSuperview];
    [picker release];
    CCSprite *imageFromPicker = [CCSprite spriteWithCGImage:newImage.CGImage key:@"ImageFromPicker"];
}

I try to call [self pickcPhoto:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera] and it crash at [picker presentViewController:picker animated:NO completion:nil]; with message

Terminating app due to uncaught exception ‘NSInvalidArgumentException’, reason: ‘Application tried to present modal view controller on itself. Presenting controller is .
‘

I’m using Cocos2d v2 testing on iOS 6, I will be thankful for any advice.

Answer 1

I found that at this moment, cocos have some issue with iOS6 and portrain orientation. ImagePickerController works only in portrain so that’s crash origin. I will be monitoring this case and update when something will change.
