SwiftUI Photo Picker - Compressed Images, UIViewControllerRepresentable

Head to https://squarespace.com/seanallen to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code SEANALLEN.

In today's video I show you how to allow your user to select a photo from their camera roll in SwiftUI. To do this, we integrate with UIKit and the UIImagePickerController using UIViewControllerRepresentable in SwiftUI. We use the common example of creating an avatar on a basic profile screen so we will also compress the image to not have a large amount of data.
