Re: IOS Photo Gallery View in Qt
i'm trying to open ios gallery with Qt , i found many article and answers . i test them but they didn't work in ios(10) here are two links that are not working for me**~~~~

Link 1 : Open ios gallery with FileDialog{}

Link 2 : Mixing Objective-c with Qt to access gallery in ios
first link explained how to open gallery with FileDialog ,according to link and it's description :

in iOS just create a FileDialog inside the QML file and set folder: shortcuts.pictures. It will call the iOS gallery.
. below is my code but it doesn't work !!

import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0
import QtQuick.Dialogs 1.0


ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480

    FileDialog {
        id: fileDialog
        visible: true
        folder: shortcuts.pictures

    }

}

second link , I couldn't compile it and i got this error

ld: '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/arc/libarclite_iphonesimulator.a(arclite.o)' does not contain bitcode. You must rebuild it with bitcode enabled (Xcode setting ENABLE_BITCODE), obtain an updated library from the vendor, or disable bitcode for this target. for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:

Really strange, I am using the FileDialog with Qt 5.7.1 on iOs 10 and it works. Are you trying that on the simulator or on an actual device? You could also try quicknative (https://github.com/paulondc/quicknative), but for iOs it's basically just using the FileDialog.

Really strange

thank you for your fast answer
i install qmp and then install quicknative successfully
but when i run project app comes up and this message shown and display in actual device and also in simulator is black

QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/main.qml:4 module "QuickNative" is not installed

here is my code's screen shot

@farshad-bayat It looks like you missed to set the path where the engine searches for installed modules. You probably need to add something like this to your main.cpp

engine.addImportPath(QStringLiteral("qrc:/"));

see: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qqmlengine.html#addImportPath

Hi!
Another possible solution is using V-Play Engine to trigger the native photo gallery with NativeUtils::displayImagePicker.

For example:

import VPlayApps 1.0
import QtQuick 2.5

App {

  // show image picker with click on button
  AppButton {
    text: "Open Image Picker"
    anchors.centerIn: parent
    onClicked: nativeUtils.displayImagePicker("Choose Image")
  }

  // handle imagePickerFinished signal
  Connections {
    target: nativeUtils
    onImagePickerFinished: {
      console.debug("Dialog Accepted: "+accepted)
      console.debug("Image Path: "+path)
    }
  }

}

Best,
GT

@Schluchti
thanks for your attention.
i set the path but not work for me. my qt version is 5.8.0, maybe this version is not supported ;(. the output of run is:
warning message is

@farshad-bayat I think you have the same Problem as described here https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-59097
