Pros & Cons
Pros
Handles camera and microphone permissions seamlessly, displaying error screens when needed, which eliminates boilerplate code for permission management.
Combines Error, Captured Media, and Camera screens to automatically manage the entire workflow from permissions to media display, reducing implementation time.
Every screen and component can be fully customized, as demonstrated in the code examples, allowing developers to match their app's design.
Supports image and video capture, manual zoom, focus, filters, and other camera controls, providing comprehensive functionality without AVKit complexity.
Cons
Exclusively designed for SwiftUI, making it incompatible with UIKit-based projects and reliant on Apple's SwiftUI framework stability.
Hides the underlying AVKit complexities, which can limit access to advanced camera settings or real-time adjustments for specialized use cases.
Documentation is hosted on a separate wiki, which might be less accessible or slower to update compared to inline documentation or GitHub README.
