OMG! I just spent over an hour trying to figure out why my images where rounded diamonds and not a circle! APPARENTLY if the initial image you choose (got my own from the internet) is 512x512, it makes the real photos really tiny rounded diamonds. (To duplicate this, download the project at this point, drag out the select_photo_empty@2x.png to you desktop, delete the select_photo_empty.imageset folder, resize the photo to 512x512, and drag it back into the assets folder) Why does swift do this? I figure it has to do with constraints and the resizing once we choose an image, because the actual image is fine, but when we update it with a custom image, it is very tiny and not a circle. If you know why it behaves this way please let me know.

Hey Brian, Why did you create a separate function where you configure circle imageview instead of setting all of that right inside companyImageView initialisation at the top? Is there any difference between your approach and the one i said?

Great lesson, great course.

This is a great lesson and this course is very worth it but I have a question: so when the user saves a company to which we haven't set an image (there's just the circular select photo placeholder) the app is going to save the placeholder right image? not sure if this is something we want. how do we fix this? should we use a boolean to indicate whether the user has selected an image and if yes then save the companyImageView.image?

Hey Brian, regarding the circular image in CreateCompanyController, couldn't we set the corner radius and other properties inside imageview initialization?

Hi Brian, strange issue, when selecting a picture that is smaller than the selection box, when I save and we go to the company list, the thumbnail image is actually bigger than the square I was expecting. If I go back and edit the company and the image and zoom in on the photo so that it completely fills the selection box and save, the thumbnail image is now a square and correct.

Hello Brain, in swift 4.2 the(UIImageJPEGRepresentation' has been replaced by instance method 'UIImage.jpegData(compressionQuality:)) how can i fix that, i tried to convert the app to swift 4 but it doesn't work

Hi Brian, how to save circular image from CreateCompanyController in the CompanyController cell as I tried to to this but it didn't work; cell.imageView?.layer.cornerRadius = cell.imageView?.frame.width / 2 cell.imageView?.layer.cornerRadius = cell.imageView?.frame.height / Haaris cell.imageView.clipToBounds = true

Engineering process question: I've noticed that you typically build out these projects, step by step and test them at each incremental feature change. I think that's an awesome idea because you're always sure that pieces of it working, and can probably quickly find where things went wrong. Do you use the same process when you're working for a client? For example: the table view cells start out with simple text, then more text, and now include images. Would you ever just build the entire cell to its final state (more or less) and then wire it up? Build the entire model first?

when you are saving image data you aren't accounting for the fact that the user doesn't have to select an image. when they don't select an image it uses the "empty image" as its image. this causes some weird and unexpected results when displaying that as the image for the company. I fixed with a state variable that lets me know when an image was selected.

Perhaps a bug in download project code? When I change the hard-coded anchors concerning companyImageView from 100 to 200 & leave everything the same: - CompanyImageView shows as a rounded rectangle. companyImageView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 200).isActive = true companyImageView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 200).isActive = true imagePickerController(...didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo...) still works properly and leaves CompanyImageView as a perfect circle. === Issue occurs even if I comment out all other UI components so CompanyImageView is alone on the screen.

This is what worked for me in Swift 4.2 let imageData = image.jpegData(compressionQuality: 1)! as NSData

Hey Brian, the reason why it doesn’t asked you to confirm access for picture is beaucause you already confirm it before. You have to reset your simulator from bar task or uninstall and install again your application. Hope it works for you !

Hi Brian, I put the "setupCircularImageStyle()" inside company's "didSet()" method as you did, but the image is still square when I enter the editView. The image becomes round after I select an image from the photoPickerView. I set a breakpoint in the company's "didSet()" method, and see that the "setupCircularImageStyle()" is executed. I use Xcode 10 and macOS Mojave. Can you please give an advice on how to further debug this problem? Many thanks!

Great tutorial Brian, small update here, 3:13 let imageData = companyImage.jpegData(compressionQuality: 0.8) I'm Having a problem with setupCircularImageStyle( ) When i put setupCircularImageStyle( ) inside of my didSet method , it makes my Image disappear when i press on edit from the tableview. I can still touch it to activate the ImagePicker and everything works like normal. If i do not putting that setupCircularImageStyle( ) method into the didSet method everything works like normal but i get a square picture when i hit edit. thanks for any help.

Thank you Brian for this course. I'm lovin it! Aloha

Hi Brian, when I click on an image to add to a company, the image gets selected and the app goes back to the Create Company screen. I have no option to edit/crop/pan the image like you were showing in your videos. Is there a specific function call I need to implement to do this?

UIImageJPEGRepresentation didn't work. Core Data seems to expecting an NSData object not a Data object. I used this code instead in createCompany() to save the image: if let companyImage = companyImageView.image { if let data = companyImage.jpegData(compressionQuality: 0.8) as NSData? { company.setValue(data, forKey: "imageData") } }

Another question Brian, my image view in the Create Company screen is the shape of an eye, not a circle. What causes this?

Hi Brian, After the code below may image in Create Company View get the shape like a diamond, not a circle. I am using the swift 5. Do you know what happened? Follow the code: var company: Company? { didSet{ nameTextField.text = company?.name guard let founded = company?.founded else {return} datePicker.date = founded if let imageData = company?.imageData { companyImageView.image = UIImage(data: imageData) setupCircularImageStyle() } } } private func setupCircularImageStyle() { companyImageView.layer.cornerRadius = companyImageView.frame.width / 2 companyImageView.clipsToBounds = true companyImageView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.darkBlue?.cgColor companyImageView.layer.borderWidth = 2 }

Great work

Hi Brian, sorry for always commenting but I found out some more information on the photo library permissions. Apparently, the swift team has decided that for photo usage from the photo library specifically it is all user dependent. Apps no longer have access to photos unless if the user interacts with the device and select the photos. So basically it is no longer needed because the user selects the image they want to be shown thus "kind of" agreeing to that specifics photo usage. This is what I have found within my research through both Apple's documentation and stack overflow. I am not sure 100% of this but it's my best guess as to why it isn't needed anymore.

cool stuff cool stuff
