How to remove square ratio cropping for images on IOS

Question

I am using the IOS standard image cropping functionality (move and scale) to crop my image before submitting it to the server.

However, I realize that the cropping provided has a square ratio (see screenshot below)

Snippet of the code is as follows:

//set up image picker
self.imgPicker = [[[UIImagePickerController alloc] init]autorelease];
self.imgPicker.allowsEditing = YES;
self.imgPicker.delegate = self;

//Trigger get photo from library function
self.imgPicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
[self presentModalViewController:self.imgPicker animated:YES];

How can allow 'move and scale' editing and at the same time allow the user to do cropping WITHOUT the square ratio restriction?

Answer 1

I think you need change self.imgPicker.allowsEditing = YES; to self.imgPicker.allowsEditing = NO;

Answer 2

This library can help you.

It supports custom cropping and it's easy to integrate with the native picker if needed.
