Customize camera overlay in applozic

Question

I am using applozic chat sdk for ios and sending images , video successfully . My requirement is to change camera overlay. When I try to add overlay on camera it crashes.

 let camaraObj : ALImagePickerController = ALImagePickerController()

 let overlay =UIView(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds)
 overlay.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()     
 camaraObj.cameraOverlayView = overlay

Crash log: libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException.

Any help ?

Looks like you are not setting the sourceType. ALImagePickerController is used for sending pictures from photos only. You need to explicitly set source type if you want to use it for camera.

ie self.mImagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;

We just tried the same and got below exception:
