CameraUI + iOS issues

Hi,

We are having some issues with the CameraUI for an app we are devloping for iOS.

We are currently using AIR SDK 3.6

1) When invoking the CameraUI and using Stage3D, Starling or any other framework that takes advantage of the GPU in iOS we loose the context. I guess this is an unavoidable problem and the only solution is to handle the context loss (in the case of Starling is easy), but the visual result is not ideal, the delay between the CameraUI interface finishing and the app restoring the context (All Textures etc), makes it look like a bug. Also I always though that was impossible to loose the context in iOS, is this affirmation correct?

2) When in the CameraUI interface if the user clicks the device "HOME" button, the app goes to the background but when the user comes back to the app, the CameraUI interface appears with the shooter graphics closed. Clicking the Camera button (to shoot) does nothing, in fact freezes the app completelly, and clicking cancel and invoking the CameraUI again makes the shooter animation to play twice... This kind of behaviour doesnt happen in the native Camera app., when the user comes back from the background the shooter animation opens again normally.

Any thoughs?

Thanks

Luis

Can you please report a bug for the same @bugbase.adobe.com with a sample app(source code ,swf, app-xml and assets/ane) with which bug can be reproduced?

Also you can provide me the sample app(source code ,swf, app-xml and assets/ane) @nimisha1@adobe.com so that I can give it a try.

I'm running into the same issues on IOS.

I also notice that when opening the cameraUI, it takes a long time (up to 10 seconds sometimes) before the UI is ready to shoot.

I tried many diferent native apps and the camera opens without delay.

Are there known issues, turnarounds?

Your help would be appreciatted.
