A Flutter plugin for iOS and Android for picking images from the image library, and taking new pictures with the camera.
Note: This plugin is still under development, and some APIs might not be available yet. Feedback welcome and Pull Requests are most welcome!
First, add image_picker
as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.
Add the following keys to your Info.plist file, located in <project root>/ios/Runner/Info.plist
:
NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription
- describe why your app needs permission for the photo library. This is called Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description in the visual editor.NSCameraUsageDescription
- describe why your app needs access to the camera. This is called Privacy - Camera Usage Description in the visual editor.NSMicrophoneUsageDescription
- describe why your app needs access to the microphone, if you intend to record videos. This is called Privacy - Microphone Usage Description in the visual editor.
No configuration required - the plugin should work out of the box.
