Using the ImageCaptureCore framework on iOS

Question

I'm using the ImageCaptureCore framework to control a DSLR camera connected via USB in a Cocoa application. Now I'd like to do the same on iOS (camera connected to an iPad via a "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter") and wondered which framework to use.

I'm not going to submit the App to the AppStore, so using a private framework is totally fine. I searched for appropriate headers in iOS-Runtime-Headers, but only found ImageCapture. Any hint in the right direction is most welcome.

Answer 1

As of iOS 13.0+, the ImageCaptureCore framework is available for use on iPadOS to

• Discover connected cameras and scanners
• View and modify the folders, files, and metadata on a connected camera
• Take photos directly on a connected camera using tethered capture
• Perform overview scans and scans on a connected scanner
