iOS UIImagePickerController result image orientation after upload

Question

I am testing my iPhone application on an iOS 3.1.3 iPhone. I am selecting/capturing an image using a UIImagePickerController:

UIImagePickerCont         


        

Answer 1

I have experienced this issue with images taken from camera or saved in camera roll which are taken from camera. Images downloaded in photo library from safari browser does not rotate when uploaded.

I was able to solve this issue by making the image data as JPEG before uploading.

let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage        
let data = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0)

We can now use the data for uploading and the image will not get rotated after upload.

Hope this will work.
