Camera Bug - Freezes in the Camera preview screen with iOS 5.0.1

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Since the update of 5.0.1 on the iPAD2 I am now receiving an issue with the camera. Even the example in the SampleCode will no longer work.

Using an iPad2 when the camera is accessed this opens up the camera preview display, but after taking the image, or even if you try and cancel, this preview screen will not disappear completely covering the App interface

On the simulator this will not produce an error! This has to be tested on the device (I am using IPAD2)

I have tried the latest DAILY BUILD but this did not fix the issue

I saw this camera bug too with one of the latest daily builds.
I tried building my app with an earlier daily build ( don’t remember which one ) and it worked as it should. [import]uid: 13632 topic_id: 18096 reply_id: 69211[/import]

Hey, Josh, thanks for posting the result. I’ll link to this post from the site where I reported the physics issue (so that Ansca staff would be aware of this issue as well.)

Hey, Josh, I found that physics objects behave oddly on iOS 5.0.1 device as posted here.

Ansca staff, it might be good to have the Daily Build 644 made available so that, maybe, Josh can check if the camera problem goes away with Daily Build 644. (Not sure if 644 would make any difference, but just in case…)

The iOS 5 camera problems was specific to the camera code and has been fixed in daily build 694. We were able to duplicate and fixed the issue. We are still looking at the Physics object problem. [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 18096 reply_id: 69386[/import]
