Installation

Swift Package Manager

The Swift Package Manager is a tool for automating the distribution of Swift code and is integrated into the swift compiler.

Once you have your Swift package set up, adding CameraButton as a dependency is as easy as adding it to the dependencies value of your Package.swift or the Package list in Xcode.

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/Ramiz69/CameraButton.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "1.0.0"))
]

Normally you'll want to depend on the CameraButton target:

.product(name: "CameraButton", package: "CameraButton")

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is no longer supported starting with 1.0.0. The last published pod is RKCameraButton 0.0.4. Please migrate to Swift Package Manager.

Manually

Copy the contents of the Sources folder into your project.

Usage

UIKit

let button = CameraButton()
button.type = .video          // .photo or .video
button.style = .glass         // Liquid Glass on iOS 26+, classic ring otherwise
button.delegate = self
view.addSubview(button)       // 60×60 intrinsic size, or constrain it

In storyboards, add a button and set its class to CameraButton in the Identity Inspector.

SwiftUI

@State private var isRecording = false

CameraShutterButton(type: .video, style: .glass, isRecording: $isRecording) {
    isRecording ? recorder.start() : recorder.stop()
}
.frame(width: 72, height: 72)

CameraShutterButton is a thin wrapper over the same CameraButton, so both share one implementation.

Recording progress

button.animateRecordingProgress(duration: 15) // fills the ring over the max clip length
button.recordingProgress = 0.4               // or drive it manually

The ring resets when recording stops.

Customization

Property	Description
style	.classic or .glass
glassTintColor	Tint of the glass disc
photoColor, videoColor	Fill of the inner shape
ringColor, ringLineWidth, ringOffset	Classic ring appearance
progressColor	Recording ring color
isHapticFeedbackEnabled	Haptics on capture and record toggle

The button supports VoiceOver labels, Dynamic colors and Reduce Motion out of the box.

Example app

Open CameraButton.xcodeproj and run the CameraButton-Example scheme (iOS 18+). It is a SwiftUI camera screen with:

• a live camera preview on device and an animated scene in the Simulator;
• photo and video modes with a recording timer and a 15 s limit;
• a Playground sheet that edits every button property live and shows the matching Swift code;
• a SwiftUI / UIKit switch that renders the same button through CameraShutterButton or through CameraButton with a delegate.
