Disable Shutter sound when taking Photo about swiftycam HOT 4 CLOSED

It is not possible to disable the shutter sound manually. Such attempts result in a rejection from the app store due to this section in App Store Guidelines:

Section 3.3.8 : Any form of user or device data collection, or image, picture or voice capture or recording (collectively “Recordings”), and any form of data, content or information collection, processing, maintenance, uploading, syncing, storage, transmission, sharing, disclosure or use performed by, through or in connection with Your Application must comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations as well as any related Program Requirements, including but not limited to any notice or consent requirements. In particular, a reasonably conspicuous audio, visual or other indicator must be displayed to the user as part of the Application to indicate that a Recording is taking place.

However, the shutter sound should not go off while video is recording. If you call the takePhoto() function while video is being recorded, the shutter audio should not be played. I just tested on the demo project

I think its my implementation. I use a tapGesture on the circleButton which interpolates into a 10 second animated circle counter because I force users to take exactly 5 second videos. Sometimes I hear the shutter, sometimes I dont. Perhaps I should get a frame from the resulting video URL instead.

 func swiftyCam(_ swiftyCam: SwiftyCamViewController, didBeginRecordingVideo camera: SwiftyCamViewController.CameraSelection) {
        self.cameraActivity(state: .start)
        Timer.after(0.2) {
            self.takePhoto()
        }
    }

This is currently my code I just used to test. I wrote a delay function which takes a photo 0.2 seconds after video begins recording.I did get any shutter sounds:

func swiftyCam(_ swiftyCam: SwiftyCamViewController, didBeginRecordingVideo camera: SwiftyCamViewController.CameraSelection) {
       // UI animations from demo project
        print("Did Begin Recording")
        captureButton.growButton()
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25, animations: {
            self.flashButton.alpha = 0.0
            self.flipCameraButton.alpha = 0.0
        })
        
        delay(delay: 0.2) { 
            self.takePhoto()
       }
}

func delay(delay:Double, closure:@escaping ()->()) {
    DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + delay) {
        closure()
    }
}

@Awalz This is also another very random occurance. Alot of times I wont get the shutter either but also I'll get it abit from time to time.

I just find another method to get a thumbnail photo from the video
