Sometimes we need to send the images to a server by taking images from media library or by a camera for this we need to follow some steps.
Here are some steps:
1: Enter the key in info.plist file in a project
a: Media library usage description.
b: photo library usage description.
c: camera usage description.
2: Write this code to access the camera or media library of your phone.

let AC = UIAlertController(title: "Upload Profile Banner", message: "", preferredStyle: .alert) let clickBtn = UIAlertAction(title: "Take Picture", style: .default, handler: {(_ action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera) { let imagePicker = UIImagePickerController() imagePicker.delegate = self imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera; imagePicker.allowsEditing = false self.present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil) } }) let cameraRollBtn = UIAlertAction(title: "Upload Picture From Camera Roll", style: .default, handler: {(_ action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in let picker = UIImagePickerController() picker.delegate = self picker.allowsEditing = true picker.sourceType = .photoLibrary self.present(picker, animated: true, completion: { _ in }) }) let noBtn = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .default, handler: {(_ action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in }) AC.addAction(clickBtn) AC.addAction(cameraRollBtn) AC.addAction(noBtn) self.parent!.present(AC, animated: true, completion: { _ in }) |
3: Now there are one thing to add in current View controller.

1 |
UIImagePickerControllerDelegate,UINavigationControllerDelegate |
4: There is one delegate method that will receive the image from either camera or media library.

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) { if let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage { imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 0.8) as NSData! uploadImage = "true"; } picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil); } |
5: Now we need to send the image to server:
