iPhone Apps like \"Picture Map\" access all the photos in my iPhone\'s camera album and display them without ever showing an Image Picker Control.
Does anyone know h
This is an old thread but I will answer as I'm the one who wrote and published Picture Map !
Thomas is right, I was accessing the DCIM folder to parse each file (to get its location from the EXIF structure and to access thumbnails too).
As an application has no right to access files outside of its sandbox, Apple asked me to remove the application from the AppStore ... And anyway, since iOS 4.0, application are not able to access DCIM folder anymore !
I did rewrite the application to use ALAsset class and published it again under the name of "Picture-Map" ! The source code is also available here : https://github.com/sylverb/Picture-Map
