does this still need to be built? I'm about to do a port of UIWebView for Kivy / iOS since it doesn't seem to exist unless someone is already on it

@bluecollar Yes, this is still pending. Thanks.

[bluecollar]

Thanks for replying. I've built a Kivy project which has iOS-based camera support. Is there anyone who wants to walk me through what I should do 'proper' to get this into Kivy? Currently I have an Obj C object which does all the work (via avfoundation), pyobjus for the relevant class bindings to python, and then a custom widget. From my understanding 'provider' work has to be done, which is the one thing outside of my [current] scope.

any takers?

@bluecollar That's good to hear!

Ideally we'd like to handle everything using pyobjus but there are certain limitations. So we use a bridge.m for that. You would like to check https://github.com/kivy/pyobjus/tree/c5e135b8fd86a506d1ff4e67521d86a0024e6353/objc_classes/aux. Currently accelerometer, compass and gyroscope use this bridge.

Any update on camera support?

I need this feature for an app I am creating. If anyone has any interest I can fund the bounty.

This would be HUGE! I basically need to figure this out, or find a new platform for the iOS version of my app. Shame, because the Android version is basically done :(

@bluecollar Hey - would you mind if I took a look at your project?

[gorgonaut04]

Seconded...any hints as to how to get the camera going on iOS would be immensely helpful

[gorgonaut04]

Is there a technical barrier to achieving this? Any new developments?
