Camerakit IOS template cant take photos or record

[raw slate]

Hi, followed the tutorial for the create your first camerakit ios app but when testing, the photo and video record functions don't work. I had another person try to follow the same tutorial and the photo and record functions work for them. I am using iphone 14 pro max. other person is using iphone 12 pro max. we both used the swiftui template. I even tried the completed version and photo taking and video recording is still not possible.

Can anyone help?

Update: tried again with the other person's laptop but this time photo taking and video recording is unavailable. maybe this info might help but it used to work before he updated xcode to the latest version. now we are both using the latest xcode update and the photo and video recording is unavailable

Hi,
Thank you for reporting the issue with "Building a Camera Kit App for iOS Using Reference UI (SwiftUI)" tutorial. I can confirm that the capture button doesn't work for me either. It appears to have worked on iOS 17 but stopped functioning from iOS 18 onwards. As a workaround, I suggest using the UIKit version until we fix this issue in the SCSDKCameraKitReferenceSwiftUI library.

May I know if the CameraKitBasicSample for ios doesn't really take photos or videos or is it also affected by updating xcode?

CameraKitBasicSample should be fine, it is SwiftUI issue

I opened it on xcode. It opens the camera and the effect but it doesn't show the circle button for taking photos or recording videos. Is it broken too or is it supposed to be like that?

oh sorry, the one with the capture support is CameraKitSample

Hi, just wondering if that bug has been fixed already?
