I'm attempting to rotate AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer according to the device's orientation.
In portrait mode, it works fine.
However, in landscape it looks like this:
I have tried rotating the UIView around AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer but I don't want to take this approach since it crops the edges.
I have also tried setting it manually. However, connection seems to be nill when unwrapped and there is no change to AVCaptureVideoOrientation's orientation.
camera.preview.connection?.videoOrientation = AVCaptureVideoOrientation.landscapeRight
How do I make sure that AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer corresponds with the orientation of the device?
Here is the code:
class CameraModel: NSObject, ObservableObject, AVCapturePhotoCaptureDelegate {
@Published var session = AVCaptureSession()
// since were going to read pic data...
@Published var output = AVCapturePhotoOutput()
// preview
@Published var preview : AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer!
func setUp() {
// setting up camera...
do {
// setting configs...
self.session.beginConfiguration()
// change for your own
let device = AVCaptureDevice.default(.builtInDualCamera, for: .video, position: .back)
let input = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: device!)
// checking and adding to session...
if self.session.canAddInput(input) {
self.session.addInput(input)
}
// same for output...
if self.session.canAddOutput(self.output) {
self.session.addOutput(self.output)
}
self.session.commitConfiguration()
}
catch {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
}
}
struct CameraPreview: UIViewRepresentable {
@ObservedObject var camera: CameraModel
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UIView {
let view = UIView(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
camera.preview = AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer(session: camera.session)
camera.preview.frame = view.frame
// Your Own Properties
camera.preview.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill
view.layer.addSublayer(camera.preview)
// starting session
camera.session.startRunning()
return view
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: UIView, context: Context) {
}
}
