How To Push Video on iPhone Simulator?

Question

I would like to push a video into iPhone simulator to test video picking in UIImagePickerController. Is it possible to do that? And if it possible, could you please provide

Answer 1

You can subclass UIImagePickerController to override its behaviour and provide your own view. If you do this, you can then call imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: and supply your own pre-recorded video. If you include a video actually recorded from an iPhone 3GS, the behaviour you get will be pretty damn similar to that of the actual device.

Of course, always always always test on a real device before shipping!

We use a subclass of CLLocationManager in a very similar fashion to give a better location simulation.
