“Creating an image format with an unknown type is an error” with UIImagePickerController

Question

While choosing an image from the image picker in iOS 10 Swift 3 I am getting an error - Creating an image format with an unknown type is an error

Answer 1

What I did was that once I got the image from didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo, I called:

func prepareImageForSaving(image:UIImage) {
    // create NSData from UIImage
    guard let imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1) else {
        // handle failed conversion
        print("jpg error")
        return
    }

    self.saveImage(imageData: imageData as NSData)
}

func saveImage(imageData: NSData) {
    imageDatas = imageData
}

to save it in NSData format.

The console still warned me on "[Generic] Creating an image format with an unknown type is an error" but at least my imageView gets updated to the selected image rather than showing the previous one from viewDidLoad.
