Answer 1

You could use:

picker.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext

but depending on your screen layout, it may be better to use:

picker.modalPresentationStyle = .overFullScreen

I had this same problem, I solved it using the storyboard (Xcode v9.2)

1 - Go to the storyboard, where is your ViewController, select it

2 - Set Presentation as: Current Context

Note: If it does not work Current Context, select Over Current Context

Adding Picker as subview

try to add the imagepicker as a subview to your CreateJobPostViewController insted of presenting it and then remove it from parent in the delegtes

@IBAction func openCreateJob(sender: AnyObject) {

var picker: UIImagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()
picker.delegate = self
picker.allowsEditing = false
picker.sourceType = .PhotoLibrary
self.addChildViewController(picker)
picker.didMoveToParentViewController(self)
self.view!.addSubview(picker.view!)
}

and then

 func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(picker: UIImagePickerController) {

    picker.view!.removeFromSuperview()
    picker.removeFromParentViewController()
    }

For presenting

showing picker over currentcontext with options like edit cancel choose,

use picker.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext //before presenting it

 presentViewController(picker, animated: true, completion: nil)

Fixed the issue by setting the image picker's modalPresentationStyle to "OverCurrentContext":
