Pick image from gallery and upload to server – SwiftUI and PHP
Learn how to upload image from SwiftUI app. We will not be using any external library in this tutorial. All code is done in native SwiftUI. We will use a picker from an iPhone gallery and upload it to your server. We will be using SwiftUI for developing the app and PHP for uploading the image to the server.
First, you need to create a file in your project named ImagePicker.swift and paste the following content in it:

import Foundation
import SwiftUI
extension View {
public func asUIImage() -> UIImage {
let controller = UIHostingController(rootView: self)
controller.view.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: CGFloat(Int.max), width: 1, height: 1)
UIApplication.shared.windows.first!.rootViewController?.view.addSubview(controller.view)
let size = controller.sizeThatFits(in: UIScreen.main.bounds.size)
controller.view.bounds = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size)
controller.view.sizeToFit()
// here is the call to the function that converts UIView to UIImage: `.asImage()`
let image = controller.view.asUIImage()
controller.view.removeFromSuperview()
return image
}
}
extension UIView {
// This is the function to convert UIView to UIImage
public func asUIImage() -> UIImage {
let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(bounds: bounds)
return renderer.image { rendererContext in
layer.render(in: rendererContext.cgContext)
}
}
}
struct ImagePicker: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
@Environment(\.presentationMode)
var presentationMode
@Binding var image: Image?
class Coordinator: NSObject, UINavigationControllerDelegate, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate {
@Binding var presentationMode: PresentationMode
@Binding var image: Image?
init(presentationMode: Binding<PresentationMode>, image: Binding<Image?>) {
_presentationMode = presentationMode
_image = image
}
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController,
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {
let uiImage = info[UIImagePickerController.InfoKey.originalImage] as! UIImage
image = Image(uiImage: uiImage)
presentationMode.dismiss()
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
presentationMode.dismiss()
}
}
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
return Coordinator(presentationMode: presentationMode, image: $image)
}
func makeUIViewController(context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<ImagePicker>) -> UIImagePickerController {
let picker = UIImagePickerController()
picker.delegate = context.coordinator
return picker
}
func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIImagePickerController,
context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<ImagePicker>) {
}
}
