IPhone Camera App Crashed...

Hello, I was taking some pictures with the iPhone camera app when all of the sudden after taking the picture, the camera app closed and the iPhone screen showed the shutdown spinwheel for a few seconds and then returning the the unlock screen. When I reopened the picture app, the picture that I took before the crash was gone. What could have cause this crash issue? but most importantly where's the picture? is it gone or was transmitted to somewhere else (folder, camera roll, iCloud, etc.)?
Thanks for the assistance!
P.S. I am looking at the iPhone logs and see that there was a springboard crash near the time of the crash. Can a springboard crash cause the iPhone to show a shutdown spinwheel and then leave you back in the log in screen?

I am using iOS6.1.1
Can you try to load up the apples and try take some HDR photos.

Photos and camera apps crash when I hit camera roll/take a picture

After updating to ios5, I can no longer access my camera roll, not take a picture. When I hit camera roll, photos crashes. When I take a picture it says saving, then crashes. I have tried turning off the apps and reopening them. I have tried restarting/resetting. I have tried turning it off and letting it sit for 3 days. I tried accessing my camera roll through other apps like facebook, twitter, photoshop but it crashes. I tried to access my camera roll from iphoto and import my pictures but my iphone no longer comes up in iphoto. I feel as though that restoring it may be the only option left, but I do not want to lose my photos and there's still no guarantee that photos and camera will work after restoring. Anyone else ever hear of this before? Help!

There is a similar thread elsewhere...but to save you the search, simply go to this page:

The discussion in the other thread leads to that link...

IPhone camera app upgrade?

Is there any chance of the Mac OS X PhotoBooth app being put into the iPhones camera app as a feature? This would be great, even if the addition of PhotoBooth would be a pay for app like iMovie. It would be a stupendous addition. Is there any news on this?

Unless Apple announces, which they rarely do, there is no way to know what they will do in the future.

Camera app crashes iPhone 4s after upgrading to 8.0 then downgrading to 7.1.2

I have an iPhone 4s. When ios 8 came out, I updgraded then realized over the next day that it slowed the phone down. So I then reverted to 7.1.2. After that, I have had a lot of trouble with the stock camera app. It has locked up my phone many times and I have had to do a hard reset. Does anyone have any ideas?

Apple was supporting the downgrade for a couple of days after ios 8 came out. I downgraded with an Apple digitally signed version of 7.1.2 and I didn't hack anything.

IPhone 6 apps crashing - mapkit bug?

Hey everyone, so I have an iPhone 6, 64GB. I've been having app crashing issues with specific apps, and apple it not of much help at all. I think I may have narrowed down the problem, but wondering if anyone else is having the same issue? So far, upon search the only other major crashing issues I've seen are with 128GB iphone 6+, and that's not me. Here's a rundown of what I've experienced:
9/17/14
- BRAND NEW iPhone 6, yay, restored from a backup of my iphone 5, and everything was working perfectly, no problems.
9/26/14
- That evening while traveling, random apps started crashing.
- Facebook, Redfin, Maps, sometimes Calendar/Safari/Email, sometimes Fitbit, sometimes Myfitnesspal.
- By crashing, I mean that they close abruptly with no warning. Sometimes they will actually load initially, but then after a few actions or minutes of use, they crash (facebook, email/safari/calendar). Some apps just NEVER load (Maps, Redfin), they begin to launch and then immediately close. They appear to close, but when you double-click the home button to see which apps are running, there they sit in all their glory, but you can't actually use them: bringing them back to the front of open apps just makes them appear to "crash" again. I guess it's technically more of a display error, in that the app is technically running, but you can't see it and therefore use it.
*Side note - Coincidence this was the day the fatal/buggy iOS 8.0.1 update was released? Although I hadn't installed it yet...but weird nonetheless.
9/27/14
- Installed 8.0.1 over wi-fi (traveling and no computer), but didn't fix the crashing problem.
10/27/14
- Still been crashing all this time, life without maps and facebook is hard.
- Attempted to install 8.1 and had horrific errors. Had to wipe everything and set up as new phone, install the 8.1 update, and then restore from my last iphone 5 backup.
- App crashing has ceased, and maps and all other apps are working normally. Not happy I've lost the past 45 days of history, but at least the phone is working again and I have *most* of my stuff.
12/22/14
- Haven't had a problem since the last fix in October. Once again while traveling and literally on the plane out of town (I think maybe I'm cursed?), same crashing issues start.
- It began with Facebook, then I immediately checked maps, calendar, safari etc etc and they're all broken again. In case you didn't know, traveling in a city that you don't know without maps at your fingertips, and facebook to post your exciting updates, is not fun. Begrudgingly gritted my teeth and dealt with it until I could get home from travels and try to fix it.
1/12/15
- So I've been paying attention to this crashing thing the last few weeks and taking notes, trying to figure it out, because I actually want Apple to fix this, but I can't take it anymore.
- Started out by turning on iCloud Photo Library beta to make sure all photos/vids are stored, then also did an iCloud backup and a full iTunes backup. Also took screenshots of screen layout and other important settings.
- Called Apple Support and they (of course) told me I need to update to 8.1.2 (dreading this!), and then wipe everything, setup as a new phone, and see if it's still having the problem; then restore from this mornings backup and see if that fixes it.
- I first wiped the phone, just in case the glitch/bug is what caused my last update attempt to go awry. Then setup as new phone, then updated software, then restored from this mornings backup. Seems to be working again, and now the crashing is not happening. BUT - we all know it will start happening again at some time in the future, when the stars align or some random thing triggers that glitch that starts this whole nightmare.
WHAT I'VE GATHERED FROM THIS:
1) Apple support techs are very quick to assume it's probably a corrupt backup file, and that the only way to permanently fix it is to setup as new phone and ditch the old data. Well I'm sorry, but that's just not acceptable to me. For one, every time I've restored from a backup, it appears to fix the issue. That leads me to believe there is a bug that isn't initially a problem until something triggers it. Two, I do not pay premium $ to have an iphone so that I can be told "sorry, you just have a dud backup file, if you want your phone to work properly you need to lose all your history"...I buy the iphone because of it's ease of use, and being able to seamlessly upgrade devices. At that price point, the phone better work flawlessly, and if there's a problem they need to actually fix the problem. I didn't write the code, and I certainly didn't go into my backup and change the code. And three, I have way too much data to lose in apps, messages etc - losing that alone would be worse than dealing with this dumb glitch.
2) After looking at the Diagnostic Crash Logs, all these app crashes have something to do with the Mapkit code, and sometimes also a Vectorkit code which I'm assuming is how the phone renders the map data and displays it. I'm not a developer or coder, I don't speak that language, but I can clearly see the event is EXC_CRASH and the thread each log points to has SOMETHING to do with MapKit and sometimes Vectorkit. Being that all these apps do use apple's native maps app to display or lookup map data - it's clear to me that this seems to be the issue. In researching further, I came across this post from a developer who mentions something about it: http://thecodist.com/article/our_ios_app_crash_rate :
"1/3 of the crashes are a particular one in MapKit where Apple's tile loading code in VectorKit appears to try to update a map which has already been deallocated. I reported it in Radar but so far no idea if they are going to fix it. It appears that when a map tile load isn't delivered fast enough it can complete after the app has already removed the map view."
I'd like for them to actually fix this!

Lol what is the point of a Support Community blog if all anyone is going to tell anyone is restart/wipe their device? That's garbage.
@socialprincess1, I have THIS EXACT PROBLEM with my phone. I travel (specifically air travel) and suddenly, like clock work as we push back from the gate, all apps that utilize mapkit crash. I've reproduced this problem 4 times in the last month (I've done a lot of air travel). Facebook, Apple Maps, Weather, Weather Underground, Lyft, etc. ALL CRASH.
Apps that use the Google Maps engine, Google Maps, Uber, etc. all work fine....how ironic.
The only thing that stops the crashing is restoring the device. Now, you can backup your device while its crashing and restore from that backup and your device will start working fine again...but this doesn't fix the underlying problem that this "mapkit bug" will arise again.
My only guess at this point in the debug process is it *may* have something to do with the on-board wifi (gogo-inflight, etc.), as it is the only thing that is unique to air travel. Maybe there's a cert that its trying to install or maybe even the Fly Delta app is doing something funky with location services/mapkit. At this point I really have no idea.
I've also noticed that the location services icon (black compass mark) is on CONSTANTLY now.
I have a 128GB iPhone 6 that I restored from my iPhone 5 backup upon receiving as well.

Why does Camera App crash?

Recently the Camera App on my iPhone 4s started to crash irregularly - in particular, when I take a picture without unlocking the screen and when I then try to look at the picture (which used to work fine before). The screen simply freezes (with a blurry version of the picture visible) and the iPhone doesn't react to anything (including the "Home" button). If I do nothing, after a while it seems to go through an "Auto-reboot" - the white apple appears, and then it's back to normal. Can anyone comment on the cause and how to fix/avoid this?

Hello Sebastian,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.

Camera App Crash since update to IOS 7.1.1

Ever since I updated to IOS 7.1.1, i've noticed a strange behavior of the Camera app, on my iPhone 4S.
If I enable the HDR function, I can take a picture, but it will only save the non-HDR and then it crashes.
It's like it's having difficulties in saving the HDR photo.
When it occurs, I get the feeling that it might be memory related (as if it doesn't have enough free memory available to process & store the HDR photo).
I have enough memory available and also enough storage space.
This didn't occur before the 7.1.1 update.
I've tried a reboot of the phone, clean re-install in iTunes (iTunes redownloads the ipsw file), afterwhich I restore from latest backup, but the problem remains.
Anybody have any ideas, besides the ones i already tried?

If you restore as a NEW device (not from a backup), does the same behavior occur?

My iphone camera app is no longer on the screne

The Camera App on my Iphone 4S is no longer on the screne? How can I replace it?

The Camera app on an iPhone is one of the default apps and cannot be deleted. It has to be there somewhere. Sometimes an app can be accidentally moved on top of another app and this creates a folder containing both apps. Swipe to the search screen and search for Camera. It will find the app for you.

Non iPhone camera app photos not showing up in iPhoto

When I connect my iPhone 4 to my MacBook, iPhoto only shows thumbnails of photos taken with the camera app.
Thumbnails taken with a third party app show up as empty hash border boxes and I am not able to import them. Why is this? It's dam annoying. I should be able to get hold of any images on my iPhone regardless of what app I used.
(Note photos are always stored on the iPhone in the Photo Gallery)

It's a bug, I think. Many people have reported it on the iPhoto forum, so you might search for a solution there.
See if Image Capture in your Applications folder lets you download all the photos to your hard drive. Worst-case, copy and paste them into an email to send yourself.

CGContextDrawImage camera app crashes

Hello All,
My first post on this forum. I am trying to obtain an image using the AVCaptureSession. I followed this tutorial http://www.benjaminloulier.com/posts/2-ios4-and-direct-access-to-the-camera. I am creating uiimage from image ref and then obtaining pixels from that uiimage. But the app crashes after sometime (less than 30s). I tried analyzing using Leaks and that too crashes. Using logs I found the app crashes just before the line CGContextDrawImage(context, rect, image1.CGImage); Do you guys have any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong. I also see Memory Allocation errors a few seconds before the app crashes. Please help.
Please find the code below:
// Create a UIImage from sample buffer data
- (UIImage *) imageFromSampleBufferCMSampleBufferRef) sampleBuffer
lock = @"YES";
CVImageBufferRef imageBuffer = CMSampleBufferGetImageBuffer(sampleBuffer);
// Lock the base address of the pixel buffer
CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress(imageBuffer, 0);
// Get the number of bytes per row for the pixel buffer
void *baseAddress = CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddress(imageBuffer);
// Get the number of bytes per row for the pixel buffer
size_t bytesPerRow = CVPixelBufferGetBytesPerRow(imageBuffer);
// Get the pixel buffer width and height
size_t width = CVPixelBufferGetWidth(imageBuffer);
size_t height = CVPixelBufferGetHeight(imageBuffer);
// Create a device-dependent RGB color space
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
size_t bufferSize = CVPixelBufferGetDataSize(imageBuffer);
// Create a Quartz direct-access data provider that uses data we supply.
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithBytes:baseAddress length:bufferSize];
CGDataProviderRef dataProvider = CGDataProviderCreateWithCFData((__bridge CFDataRef)data);
CGImageRef quartzImage = CGImageCreate(width, height, 8, 32, bytesPerRow,
              colorSpace, kCGImageAlphaNoneSkipFirst | kCGBitmapByteOrder32Little,
              dataProvider, NULL, true, kCGRenderingIntentDefault);
CGDataProviderRelease(dataProvider);
// Unlock the pixel buffer
CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
// Create an image object from the Quartz image
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:quartzImage];
// Release the Quartz image
CGImageRelease(quartzImage);
CVPixelBufferUnlockBaseAddress(imageBuffer,0);
baseAddress = nil;
[data release];
lock = @"NO";
return(image);
-(void)calculate
@try {
        UIImage *image1 = [self stillImage];   //Capture an image from the camera.
        //Extract the pixels from the camera image.
        CGColorSpaceRef colourSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
        size_t bytesPerRow = image1.size.width*4;
        unsigned char* bitmapData = (unsigned char*)malloc(bytesPerRow*image1.size.height);
        CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(bitmapData, image1.size.width, image1.size.height, 8, bytesPerRow,colourSpace,kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedFirst|kCGBitmapByteOrder32Big);
        CGColorSpaceRelease(colourSpace);
        CGContextDrawImage(context, rect, image1.CGImage);
        unsigned char* pixels = (unsigned char*)CGBitmapContextGetData(context);
        totalLuminance = 0.0;
        for(int p=0; p<image1.size.width*image1.size.height*4; p+=4)
            totalLuminance += pixels[p]*0.3 + pixels[p+1]*0.59 + pixels[p+2]*0.11;
        totalLuminance /= (image1.size.height * image1.size.width);
        pixels = nil;
        bitmapData = nil;
        [image1 release];
    CGContextRelease(context);
        //image1 = nil;
        //totalLuminance = [n floatValue];                   //Calculate the total luminance.
        float f = [del.camcont.slider value];
        float total = totalLuminance * f;
        NSString *ns = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Lux : %0.2f", total];
        NSLog(@"slider = %f",f);
        NSLog(@"totlaluminance = %f",totalLuminance);
        NSLog(@"%@",ns);
        //NSString *ns = [NSString initWithFormat:@"Lux : %0.2f", total];
        [del.camcont.lux setText:ns];//Display the total luminance.
        self.stillImage = nil;
        //[self.stillImage release];
         ns = nil;
        //n = nil;
        //del = nil;
    @catch (NSException *exception) {
        NSLog(@"main: Caught %@: %@", [exception name], [exception reason]);

The error happens in the Calculate method which uses the Image retrieved from the AVCaptureSession ImageBuffer to do some calculations. Calculate method is called every second directly from the function which gets the still image.
A few seconds later I get Memory Allocation Error at line:
for(int p=0; p<image1.size.width*image1.size.height*4; p+=4)
   totalLuminance += pixels[p]*0.3 + pixels[p+1]*0.59 + pixels[p+2]*0.11;
And then after a few iterations crashes at the line
CGContextDrawImage(context, rect, image1.CGImage);
Can someone please guide me on how I can make sure I am releasing the memory allocated to objects properly.
Thanks

Moto X Camera App Crashes When Taking Movies

Recently, the camera app has started crashing whenever I try to take a movie with my Moto X. Has anyone else been having this problem?

I'm also having this problem AND a coworker is having the same issue. I called motorola and they suggested starting in safe mode to determine if a 3rd party app was effecting the camera, but it crashed in safe mode too.
Anyone have an answer to this?

Camera app crashing

Why won't my iPhone camera app work?

For some odd reason, my camera app isn't working. I closed the app and turned off the power but that didn't make a difference. It sometimes open but it's really glitchy, for example: the screen turns purple (not the whole screen) every time I try to take a pic/video. I did drop my iPhone but I don't think dropping my iPhone damaged it. FaceTime seems to be working fine, it's just the camera app and Snapchat.

Hello, Guess313.
Thank you for the question. This article will help your troubleshoot the camera issue with your iPhone. See the section labeled Camera is not functioning.

IPhone Push app crashes on launch

I have two apps to which I added Push. Both are crashing immediately upon launch on legal, activated phones on which other Push apps are working fine. Apple has also rejected these apps on these grounds. I reported the issue to Apple Bug Reporter, and they said this is a known issue and marked my bug as duplicate and they have not provided any updates for weeks on the original bug.
However I am still in the same position. My apps crash on launch, whereas on the same phones, other push apps work fine.
1. Have any of you faced this issue?
2. Is there a known workaround?
My App is built for 3.0 devices and uses the stadard documented api for registering with APNS and handling success/failure.
I have heard of trying to install like the AIM push app before installing my app as a workaround but that's not a real workaround for customers. Again the most salient point is IT CRASHES ON LEGAL ACTIVATED 3.0 PHONES ON WHICH OTHER PUSH APPS WORK FINE.
The crash is immediate upon launch, and is a segment violation in the coredynamic libraries (not apparently directly related to APNS).
My code for APNS registration is as follows:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)app {
self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
//Register for notification Types
NSLog("applicationDidFinishLaunching: Before Registering for the notifications types!!!");
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
NSLog("applicationDidFinishLaunching: After Registering for the notifications types!!!");
// Delegation methods
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)devToken {
NSLog(@"Inside function didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken: %@", devStrToken);
NSString *devStrToken = nil;
devStrToken = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:devToken encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(@"Device token: %@", devStrToken);
self.registered = YES;
[self sendProviderDeviceToken:(char *)[devStrToken UTF8String]]; // custom method
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)err {
NSLog(@"Error in registration. Error: %@", err);
- (void) sendProviderDeviceToken:(char *)devTokenBytes {
NSLog(@"Inside function sendProviderDeviceToken: %@", devStrToken);
NSString *uniqueIdentif = [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier]; //Device unidentify
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<deletedonpurpose>@", devTokenBytes, uniqueIdentif];
NSLog("sendProviderDeviceToken: sending the device token through http!!!");
NSLog(@"url = %@", urlString);
// setting up the request object now
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"GET"];
NSURLResponse *response = nil;
NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:nil];
NSLog(@"returnData = %@", returnData);
}
