iOS 8 Bug with UIImagePickerController Image Crop

Question

I am having an issue with UIImagePickerController with allowsEditing = YES. I am unable to crop the image from the bottom but also I have an extra empty space on top when moving the crop rectangle.

Also in the method.

-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info

I log info and it gives me wrong CropRect (which is not square!)

UIImagePickerControllerCropRect = "NSRect: {{0, 357}, {666, 646}}";
UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage = "<UIImage: 0x7f9b8aa47b30> size {640, 618} orientation 0 scale 1.000000";
UIImagePickerControllerMediaType = "public.image";
UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage = "<UIImage: 0x7f9b8868e5a0> size {1500, 1001} orientation 0 scale 1.000000";

Does anyone has this bug and how do you fix it?

iOS 9 and I still have that problem, did you find a solution? — Rodrigo Ruiz, Sep 24 '15 at 01:13
I can't believe this is an issue in iOS 9; it seems to have been around for a long time. @RodrigoRuiz - have you found a way around this in iOS 9? — SAHM, Nov 30 '15 at 07:33

I have no idea how, but i totally removed "View controller-based status bar appearance" key row (just fully delete this row) in .plist file and it fixed this bug

The only issue with this solution, though it solves this problem, it creates a new one which is the status bar is visible and you can see the battery and time. Does anyone here knows how to sort this out? – rcat24 May 25 '15 at 07:58

I couldn't set the "View controller-based status bar appearance" to YES, so I have tried to hide the status bar when I show the UIImagePickerController like so:

 let imagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()

 ... 

 myViewController.present(imagePickerController, animated: true) {
     UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25, animations: {
         UIApplication.shared.isStatusBarHidden = true
     })
 }

Then on the UIImagePickerControllerDelegate didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo I show the status bar, and it worked.
