Ios – how to get path of picture taken by camera ios swift

iosswiftuiimagepickercontroller

I was using the imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo delegate method for getting the url of the image which user chose on photo gallery. But when I try to get URL for image taken by camera its return nill.
Here is my code.

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
        if (imagePicker.sourceType == UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera) {
            let data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(pickedImage)
            UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(pickedImage, nil, nil, nil)

            if let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
                let imageURL =  info[UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL] as? NSURL
                print(imageURL)
            }
        }

The image you have taken is not saved and has not any name yet. You need to save the image before you can get the path for the image. That´s why it returns nil.

If you select an image from the image library instead of taking one with the camera you´ll get a path.

What is image in your saveImage: method? I think it should be img. Hope this helps

- (void)saveImage:(UIImage *)img
{
    [img retain];
    //alloc your myThumbNail before this
    myThumbNail = img;
    [img release];
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSizeMake(60.0,60.0));

    [myThumbNail drawInRect:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 60.0, 60.0)];// gets killed here

Set the UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to YES in the .plist file.
In the viewDidLoad do a [self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate];

Add the following method:

- (UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle
{ 
    return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent; 
}

Note: This does not work for controllers inside UINavigationController, please see Tyson's comment below :)

Swift 3 - This will work controllers inside UINavigationController. Add this code inside your controller.

// Preferred status bar style lightContent to use on dark background.
// Swift 3
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
    return .lightContent
}

Swift 5 and SwiftUI

For SwiftUI create a new swift file called HostingController.swift

import Foundation
import UIKit
import SwiftUI

class HostingController: UIHostingController<ContentView> {
    override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
        return .lightContent
    }
}

Then change the following lines of code in the SceneDelegate.swift

window.rootViewController = UIHostingController(rootView: ContentView())

window.rootViewController = HostingController(rootView: ContentView())
