Phanfare iPhone app has direct camera access?! How?!
location: apple.com - date: July 11, 2008
Hello,I'm sure many of you have tried out some of the apps on the AppStore. One app in particular caught my attention because I have no idea how they were able to pull it off.For the longest time, I've always assumed that the only way we could access the camera was through the UIImagePickerController. This forced everybody to use the built-in view as well as experience the slow saving state of the camera. Others have mentioned in this forum that the image picker is much slower than the native camera app.But if you take a look at Phanfare, they were somehow able to circumvent the image picker completely and gain access to the camera. Their application seems very fast.My only guess right now is that they were somehow able to figure out how to strip the built-in view layers off of the image picker.But when they save the photo, it's also very fast and responsive.Does anybody have an idea how they were able to do this?Tha
