The Image Capture API allows developers to leverage the Camera Connection Kit to import photos directly into their apps. It is now available in iOS 13.2. Apple does not provide a documentation at the moment, but there are some implementation Information available here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56959203/ios-13-image-capture-api-for-accessing-external-cameras-filesystem

Expected behaviour

  1. Connect a camera or SD card to your iOS device
  2. Get an import dialog for photos
  3. Save selected photos to your ownCloud account

Actual behaviour

Direct photo import is not possible at the moment for connected cameras

Client

iOS version: iOS 13.2

ownCloud app version: 1.1.2

Device model: iPhone, iPad

Very low priority from my POV. Storage devices or cameras already show up in the iOS Files app, and I can directly import from there…
