Things tried and tested on iPhone 12 present full screen/present as a modal wrap the picker inside a VC/present UIImagePickerController as is cameraViewTransform: scale then translate/ translate then scale/apply directly/ create a CGAFFineTransform and then apply with overlay/without overlay None of these combinations worked. Not even just presenting an UIImagePickerController with no transform and no overlay applied, even then there is always a black bar of about 122 points and cameraViewTransform translation does nothing.
