Error when creating an image from a UIView

Question

Hi, I'm creating an image from a view whith the folowing code :

UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(myView.bounds.size);    
[myView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(viewImage, nil, nil, nil); 

The image is created in the user album but in the consol I get this :

I don't know where the problem come from. Can you help me?

Answer 1

I can't tell you why you get the "readonly" messages, but I can tell you that this is not normal: I just tried out UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(anImg,nil,nil,nil) on an iPod Touch with OS 3.1.3. and it generated the file in the photos DB without such any msgs in the Console.

This could indicate that you have a defective photos db. Try erasing your photos on the device, or do even a clean re-install, without any of your old data, and see if that makes the problem go away. If yes, you photo DB may have been corrupted somehow.
