I'm working on an app for iOS 6 that utilizes the camera, but I've been unable to figure out how to enable the options which would allow the user to take a panoramic shot. I've got everything working as far as taking a normal photo goes, but would like to give the user the option to use the new panorama feature in iOS 6 in the app.
I've scoured the net and not been able to find any information (SO, Apple Dev Center, etc). I'm unable to determine whether this is even a possibility or not. Can we use this, and if so, how?
This is not possible. Access to the camera is only possible via UIImagePickerController
or through AVFramework
, and neither of these provide this functionality.
AVFramework
gives you the data stream from the camera, and you have to handle that yourself. Unless you want to implement your own panoramic feature, this isn't appropriate.
Whilst there are settings to adjust flash, video/image and rear/front in UIImagePickerController
, there are none to enable the native panoramic feature.
In a similar vain to HDR photographs, Panoramic capture is only available within the Camera app.
