Select Multiple Images (UIImagePickerController or Photos.app Share UI)

Question

In iPhone OS 3.0, Apple added the ability to share multiple pictures at once using the "Share" button and selecting multiple images (where a checkmark is used).

I'd love to have a UIImagePickerController which lets the user select multiple images at once, rather than having to go one by one. Is there a way to do this, or do I have to wait until they add this feature?

Answer 1

Unfortunatly, you'll need to wait until Apple implements this feature. But it seems doubtful. The APIs are unavaliable for this type of picking.

You can probably access the Photos.app photographs to implement a multiple image picker view but only if you write your application for jailbroken devices. Since you'll need to access files outside of your application's sandbox.

Answer 2

How about this way:

1) Open "photos.app" first, select multiple photos , and copy them ;

2) In your own app, try to retrieve those copies photos;

I knew that there are some apps did like this, but do not know how can achieve step 2.
