[SwiftyCam]: Cannot take photo. Capture session is not running (swift4)

[ge0rgetang]

Unable to manually call takePhoto() or startVideoRecording() - console prints that capture session is not running.

Same here.

[specc]

I have the same issue here.
I looked into the code. Seems like the following is never called to set sessionRunning to true

@objc private func captureSessionDidStartRunning() { sessionRunning = true DispatchQueue.main.async { self.cameraDelegate?.swiftyCamSessionDidStartRunning(self) } }

hence sessionRunning is always false

guard sessionRunning == true else { print("[SwiftyCam]: Cannot take photo. Capture session is not running") return }

would changing the guard to self.session.isRunning == true be a better check ?

Has anyone figured this out? If so what should I do? I'm having the same issue

@specc you are right, the reason is that captureSessionDidStartRunning method isn't called. This method receives notification from event named AVCaptureSessionDidStartRunning. Subscription happens in viewWillApear. Make sure that you call super.viewWillAppear in overrided method.

this happend because your viewwillapper and viewdidapper don't have super.viewWillAppear(animated) so just added in viewWillAppear its work override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) { super.viewWillAppear(animated) }
