cameraViewController going in loops!

I am on the build a self destructing messaging app on the tutorial viewDidLoad and the View Controller Lifecycle and when I select my picture and it takes me to the recipients view and then loads the imagePicker again and again! This is my code in the CameraViewController:

#import "MSCameraViewController.h"
#import <MobileCoreServices/UTCoreTypes.h>

@interface MSCameraViewController ()

@end

@implementation MSCameraViewController



- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

}

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    self.imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
    self.imagePicker.delegate = self;
    self.imagePicker.allowsEditing = NO;

    if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]) {
        self.imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
    }
    else {
        self.imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
    }

    self.imagePicker.mediaTypes = [UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:self.imagePicker.sourceType];

    [self presentViewController:self.imagePicker animated:NO completion:nil];}

#pragma mark - Table view data source

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{

    // Return the number of sections.
    return 0;
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    // Return the number of rows in the section.
    return 0;
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];

    // Configure the cell...

    return cell;
}

#pragma mark - Image Picker Controller delegate

- (void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker {
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];

    [self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:0];
}

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
    NSString *mediaType = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];

    if ([mediaType isEqualToString:(NSString *)kUTTypeImage]) {
        // A photo was taken/selected!
        self.image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
        if (self.imagePicker.sourceType == UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera) {
            // Save the image!
            UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(self.image, nil, nil, nil);
        }
    }
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}



@end

Can someone please help!
