TZImagePickerController is an image and video picker library for iOS that provides an alternative to the native UIImagePickerController with extended capabilities.
The tool addresses the need for a more flexible media selection interface by offering multiple photo selection, original photo preservation, video picking, photo and video preview, and image cropping functionality. It wraps the Photos framework to deliver these features through a customizable picker interface that developers can integrate into their applications.
Developers should adopt this tool if they need multi-selection capabilities or video picking beyond what the standard UIImagePickerController provides. It suits projects targeting iOS 10 and later that require preview and cropping features alongside media selection. The library is available through CocoaPods and Carthage, or can be manually integrated by adding the TZImagePickerController folder to a project.
The project maintains active engagement with users through issue tracking and documentation of known platform-specific behaviors. The maintainers provide a demo application and detailed setup instructions, including the required privacy descriptions for camera, photo library, location, and microphone access that must be added to an application's info.plist file.
