NO photos in ios simulator 6.0

Question

Upgraded from ios 5.1 to 6.0. There are no photos in Simulator 6.o for ImagePicker. I created .../DCIM/100APPLE/..and put in photos there, but again don't show up in simulator 6.0 ?

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I've noticed the same behavior with the iOS 6.0 simulator. If you save photos within the simulator, the Media/DCIM/100APPLE directory gets created. But subsequently adding new photographs manually via the filesystem does not add them to the Photos app in the simulator.

For now, it appears we are stuck with other ways of adding photos. You can drag photos one-by-one to the simulator which opens the file URL in MobileSafari. From there, a long press on the image will allow you to add the image to the library.
