“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

Be sure to also include theUINavigationControllerDelegate delegate. This solved the issue for me.

Answer 2

Add this to viewDidload()

imagepicker.delegate = self

Answer 3

Below mentioned code did solve the problem for me -

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : AnyObject]) {
    if let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
        imagePost.image = image
    } else{
        print("Something went wrong")
    }

    self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Answer 4

Below code did solve the problem:

If user perform changes to selected image pull only that image otherwise pull original image source without any changes and finally dismiss image picker view controller.

public func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]){
    if let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage] as? UIImage {
        imageView.image = image
    }
    else if let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
        imageView.image = image
    } else{
        print("Something went wrong")
    }

    self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
