Open IOS gallery with python/kivy

[Andre Victor]

I have a working Kivy Android application and some functionality work on IOS. The part not working is selecting a video from IOS native gallery. On Android I use Kivy file browser. This does not work on IOS because each application runs in sandbox mode.

I would really appropriate any help/advice as I am stuck as a rock. I think the only other way is using pyobjus to open IOS gallery and choose the video file, I dont know how to do this with pyobjus/objective C. The examples is only done for Android. Just to give a little insight into the app. It does not play video file it only injects it with meta data. So I just need the path of the chosen video and then the gallery path to save the video back again. Any help would be much appreciated.

I intend to fix the conflicts and merge this soon but this should work as is.

I only tested selecting pictures... though I am sure selecting videos would not be much of a change for this.

Thank you very much, I tried manually updating the files you added and changed with no luck. I will have to wait for your commits to be accepted :(. I added the files to the right directory's and ran plyer build and still nothing.

Can you please assist me in getting your changes into kivy-ios. I tried adding the changes you added manually. When I try to rebuild plyer with your changes it just ignores it. Can you please help?
