Introduction
In this article I will create a Single View application. Here I use an image view and two buttons from outlet. In this app I will implement a Camera for an iPhone and to watch Clicked Photos we implement an image gallery path from which we pick an image and watch it. But this app does not work in the iPhone Simulator. If we test this app in a device then it will successfully Run.
To understand it we use the following.
Step 1
Here first we add the framework "CoreImage.framework" which is required to implement the Camera.
To import this framework we use the following.
Step 2
Click on the project and select Build Phase.
![Build-phase-in-iphone.jpg]()
Step 3
Click on the "+" icon to add the framework.
![add frameworrk-in-iPhone.jpg]()
Step 4
Now select the CoreImage framework and click on the add button.
![framework-in-iPhone.jpg]()
Step 5
To pick an image from the image gallery we need MobileCoreService framework, so here we import it to the project.

Step 6
Now we write the code for each class.

}
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application
{

}

{
// Called when the application is about to terminate. Save data if appropriate. See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.

Step 8
Now we check the connection Outlet String. To do that we click on file owner and press the right mouse button.

Step 9
Finally we click on the run button to show the output.
Step 10
Output 1 in iPhone:
Click on the Camera Button.
![camera-output-in-iphone.jpg]()
It does not initialize the camera in the simulator but it still works in the iPhone device. Here it will show output in the xcode output window.
Output 2 in iPhone
To watch captured Photos click on the Go To Photos Button.
![output1-in-iPhone.jpg]()
Output 3 in iPhone
Now choose an image from the Image Gallery. To do that click on the saved photos.

Output 4 in iPhone:
