Take Photo-AVFoundation Weird Issue

Hi everyone,

I have an interesting problem with the app that i am trying to build.I have a root viewcontroller where the camera shows up (using avfoundation) and an image view that will present the still image taken with the camera. I have also added a button that will perform a segue to a second viewcontroller. When i am testing the "app" on the phone, after i open it, it shows the camera and obviously the image view is empty since no photo was taken . However, if i click the button that sends me to the second viewcontroller and then i go back to the root viewcontroller there is a photo taken that is shown in the image view and it seems it was taken exactly when i tapped the button that performs the show-segue. Anyone has an ideea about what the issue might be? PS: I am 100% sure the segue button is not related in any way with the take photo method Thank you !

Is this a custom camera view that you have created ?

Is this a custom camera view. If so just check that when you load the camera view this is only done in view did load. Also check that when you return from the second view controller check that in the view will appear that you say that the imageView that has the photo of what ever is on it is hidden. I was stuck on this for ages and in the end it was very simple fix :)
