Add Media Control Crashing my app

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 363

I have an add media control that I am trying to take several photos with. After taking 3-6 photos the native camera system on my iphone 11 crashes and send me back to the first page of my app or freezes and does not let me exit the camera app. I am being led down the add media control since the Camera control will not do high resolution images.

    Hi @colbyturybury ,

     I answered your earlier post - have you tried this on another device - my users take thousands of photos on iPads using both the Camera and Add Picture controls and have never had an issue over about 4 years on various device and iOS versions.

    At my office the employees have a range of iphones from iPhone 11 to 13. The 13s run great but the 11s crash after a few photos. The way the app runs is they take photos using the add picture control which then load those photos into a collection. This collection is plugged into the "Update" field in the attachments data card. I am wondering if I am somehow running out of memory. Could I be loading too much information into the phone and that is causing the crash? Is there a way to monitor the iphones resources while the app is running?

    Maybe crash isn't the right word but after taking so many pictures in this case 3 photos with the add picture control it sends me back to the first screen in my app

    Hi @colbyturybury ,

    I am not an iOS device expert (far from it) - all I can tell you is that we have never had any issues over about 4 years with over 100 devices.
