There are some features of iOS apps that don’t work from the iOS simulator. Maybe you want to test how your application works with the device camera or send an SMS message from your application. For these examples and more you’ll. The iOS SDK makes it so simple for developer to access the built-in camera and photo library. For your complete reference, you can download the Xcode project for the sample app here. As always, leave us comment and share your thought about the tutorial. Show activity on this post. It's not possible to access the camera of your development machine to be used as the simulator camera. Camera functionality is not available in any iOS version and in any Simulator. You will have to use a real device for camera testing purposes. Show activity on this post. The simulator is not an emulator. If it doesn't support what you're testing, it doesn't support it.no work-arounds, bandaids, hacks, secret handshakes, almost-in-good-enoughs, easter eggs, hidden idols.give it up. Test on a device, like real devs, so your customers in the store don't do your work for you. Hey la muchacho, I know this a bit.

Hi guys..
referring to the following video..
every thing works fine for me till the end.. except...that when we add the selected photo to the ios simulator screen then the when i tap on the share button , the save to camera roll button does not shows up on the ios simulator.. because of which i am not able to save the image in the camera roll of the ios simulator...
Would appreciate your help...Thanks
ok finally finally finally it worked...i did a major blunder...after selecting the media Type... I actually missed to define the self.imagePicker as present View controller and so the images were not showing up in the camera tab...
thank you guys.. so much for your help... Ben sorry for the trouble.. but i really appreciate your help..
Thank you stone for your prompt replies... and now its working in ios 7.0 simulator as well... Terraria wiki crafting.
you should be able to open the safari app on the simulator, drag the image into the safari window, tap the middle button that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it, and then select save image. it will then be available in the photo library of the simulator
Hi Stone..
thanks for such a prompt reply.. I am infact doing the same but still its not happening..I mean I am doing exactly what you wrote.. but still after doing this when i am re-running the app and clicking on the camera tab the images are still not showing up..
Would appreciate your further help..Thanks..
press cmd + shift + h once your app is open in the simulator. this will bring you to the phones homes screen. click the photos app and see if the photos you saved are there.
Yes the photos are very much there .. all of them... but still they are not opening in the Ribbit app..
ok sounds like an issue with the way you are presenting the imagePicker then
Hi friends.. i really need your help.. on this... i am not able to go further without fixing this problem...

Please help..
Can you take a screenshot of your simulator where the 'Save to Camera Roll' button is missing? Is it possible that it's just hidden on a second page? Upload your image to a site like imgur and paste a link in here, or you can include it directly using Markdown via the Cheatsheet link below.
ok sorry for the above post... please do delete that..
