ios - How to connect external camera to iPhone and take/download photos? -


i want connect external camera iphone (the camera built iphone inadequate needs) , write iphone app allows me send signal external camera when desire take picture , download taken photo onto iphone can send wirelessly server somewhere else.

i have lot of experience web programming , js, have no experience iphone apps, , i'm not sure if want possible. ideally, if away coding in js , using cordova (or similar) make app can run on idevice or android device, great.

however, assuming that not possible, focus on app idevices @ first. looked around web resources on subject, couldn't find anything.

i have 2 questions:

  1. is want possible?
  2. if so, can using web technologies , cordova and/or chrome app convert can used on smart device? if not, books/resources learning how on iphone?

even though i've never coded iphone app before, i'm more happy try learn, need books/resources explain basics of how create "hello, world!" iphone app point can things listed above.

thank much.

answer first question yes not straight forward. let me explain how can done not sure if feasible solution you.

  • you can attach external accessories iphone via cable (lighting connector days iphone 5 , later , old 30 pin connector earlier devices) or via wifi (bluetooth ). if connect via cable or bluetooth (classic) need signup apple mfi . process apple have make difficult , companies can sign that.
  • after signup need use mfi chip in device (camera) communicate . can use externalaccessory framework development after done above.
  • another solution bluetooth low energy (ble) don't need signup apple can enable device ble , start developing app using corebluetooth framework . ble data transfer rate low may not enough photos transfer.

and answer 2nd question may possible if can use corebluetooth or externalaccessory framework cordova or other platform want use.

consider code: test = function() { } t = new test(); (var = 0; < 8; i++) { result = t instanceof test; } if change number of iterations 8 9 , loop take 100 times longer complete in latest version of firefox (41.0.1). tested on 2 different pcs , magic limit 8. here jsperf test used: http://jsperf.com/instanceof-8-times-vs-9-times does have idea why might happen? seems specific instanceof . not happen if else object, example check property. note: filed bugzilla bug this. jan de mooij mozilla team has posted details in bugzilla thread . here's simplistic interpretation of highly technical answers: in i < 8 case, firefox smart enough hoist result = t instanceof test; statement out of loop (according tests, doesn't seem omit altogether). in i < 9 case, apparently doesn't optimization . why? reason not clear, related fact 9 iterations threshold above function considered "hot" enough run through jit compiler. i < 8 cas...
