  • AddCameraBackground when device is in landscape, camera preview displays portrait orientation

    AddCameraBackground when device is in landscape, camera preview displays portrait orientation

    Description of the problem: Place the iPhone in landscape orientation. Call addCameraBackground function (position any, show buttons false)

    The camera preview layer is not taking into consideration the device orientation. For properly layout, I have to rotate the device in portrait, and then to landscape again.

    startRunning should be called from background thread

    Description of the problem: Display CameraBackground

    class func stillCameraCaptureSession(_ position: AVCaptureDevice.Position) -> AVCaptureSession? { #if targetEnvironment(simulator) return nil #endif let session = AVCaptureSession() session.sessionPreset = AVCaptureSession.Preset.photo session.addCameraInput(position) session.addOutput(AVCaptureStillImageOutput()) session.startRunning() return session }

    -[AVCaptureSession startRunning] should be called from background thread. Calling it on the main thread can lead to UI unresponsiveness
