UIImagePickerController crashes when video button is tapped

Question

Following code works good when capturing photo using camera, but app crashes when user taps on video.

 let imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
 imagePicker.modalPresentationStyle = .currentContext
 imagePicker.delegate = self
 if let _ = UIImagePickerController.availableMediaTypes(for: .camera) {
     imagePicker.mediaTypes = UIImagePickerController.availableMediaTypes(for: .camera)!
     if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(.camera) {
         imagePicker.sourceType = .camera
         present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
     }
 }

Answer 1

I had a similar problem and it was due to not asking for microphone usage permission in my Info.plist .

Check that you have a proper value for:

• NSCameraUsageDescription ( Privacy - Camera Usage Description )
• NSMicrophoneUsageDescription ( Privacy - Microphone Usage Description )
• NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription ( Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description )

Then when you change from photo mode to video mode your app will ask for microphone access instead of just crashing.
