I have a UIDocumentPickerViewController
that picks only images. This works fine in iOS 13:
let supportedTypes: [String] = ["public.image"] let documentPickerViewController = UIDocumentPickerViewController(documentTypes: supportedTypes, in: .import)
I'm trying to achieve the same in iOS 14.
However, init(documentTypes:in:)
was deprecated in iOS 14.0.
So I'm assuming I have to use this initializer instead: init(forOpeningContentTypes:asCopy:)
The forOpeningContentTypes
argument expects an array of UTType
.
I'm not sure how to use / import it.
Is it like [UTType.Image]
?
let supportedTypes: [UTType] = [UTType.Image] self.viewController = UIDocumentPickerViewController(forOpeningContentTypes: supportedTypes, asCopy: true)
👆🏻 This won't even compile because Cannot find type 'UTType' in scope
.
I also tried import MobileCoreServices
and even import CoreServices
, but that didn't help.
The documentation for the new Document Picker initializer points to this UTTypeReference -- so I tried using that, but it can't be found either.
How can I have a UIDocumentPickerViewController
that picks only images in iOS 14?
Update
This works (thanks @Warren):
import UniformTypeIdentifiers let supportedTypes: [UTType] = [UTType.image] let pickerViewController = UIDocumentPickerViewController(forOpeningContentTypes: supportedTypes, asCopy: true)
Add import UniformTypeIdentifiers
to your swift file to get access to UTType
See the documentation for more usages.
And the WWDC2020 video "Build document-based apps in SwiftUI" for a practical demo.
