I'm making an iOS app that continuously takes two pictures and does post processing on them, then displays it in UI. The only way I was able to capture two pictures synchronously was by using recursion inside the completionHandler of captureStillImageAsynchronouslyFromConnection function in AVCaptureStillImageOutput. The app eventually crashes after taking around 30 photos, here is the crash log for it:

It seems that the watchdog timer times out, I'm not exactly sure. Here is the code its executing:
-(void)burstModeCapture : (AVCaptureConnection *) videoConnection : (int) i{//start capturing picture s rapidly and cache them in ram
NSLog(@"time entering: %d", i);
[photoOutput captureStillImageAsynchronouslyFromConnection:videoConnection completionHandler:^(CMSampleBufferRef imageSampleBuffer, NSError *error)
{// NO FLASH FIRST, THEN FLASH
[flash turnOffFlash];
NSLog(@"flash");
if(error)
NSLog(@"%s",[[error localizedDescription] UTF8String]);
CVImageBufferRef cameraFrame = CMSampleBufferGetImageBuffer(imageSampleBuffer);
CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress(cameraFrame, 0);
Byte *rawImageBytes = CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddress(cameraFrame);
size_t bytesPerRow = CVPixelBufferGetBytesPerRow(cameraFrame);
size_t width = CVPixelBufferGetWidth(cameraFrame);
size_t height = CVPixelBufferGetHeight(cameraFrame);
// Do whatever with your bytes
// create suitable color space
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
//Create suitable context (suitable for camera output setting kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA)
CGContextRef newContext = CGBitmapContextCreate(rawImageBytes, width, height, 8, bytesPerRow, colorSpace, kCGBitmapByteOrder32Little | kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedFirst);
CVPixelBufferUnlockBaseAddress(cameraFrame, 0);
// release color space
CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
//Create a CGImageRef from the CVImageBufferRef
CGImageRef newImage = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(newContext);
UIImage *FinalImage = [[UIImage alloc] initWithCGImage:newImage];
CGContextRelease(newContext);
CFRelease(newImage);
imagesArray[2-i] = [FinalImage copy];//append image to array
shootCounter--;
if (shootCounter <= 0) {
[flash turnOffFlash];
shootCounter = NUMSHOTS;
UIImage *output = [self processImages];
output = [imageProcessor rotateImg:output];
output = [UI drawText:@"test" :output : CGPointMake([output size].width/2, [output size].height/2)];
[UI updateUIWithOutput:output];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
[self burstModeCapture: videoConnection : shootCounter];
});
}
else {
if (inputDevice.torchMode == AVCaptureTorchModeOn){
[flash turnOffFlash];
}
else{
[flash turnOnFlash];//SHOULD BE ON, OFF FOR TESTING PURPOSES
}
[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval: 0.1];
[self burstModeCapture: videoConnection : shootCounter];
}
}];
}
- (IBAction)startCapture:(id)sender { // start capturing process when button is held down
_Capturebtn.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
//initialize semaphore to synchronize two threads
AVCaptureConnection *videoConnection = nil;
for (AVCaptureConnection *connection in [photoOutput connections])
{
for (AVCaptureInputPort *port in [connection inputPorts])
{
if ([[port mediaType] isEqual:AVMediaTypeVideo] )
{
videoConnection = connection;
break;
}
}
if (videoConnection)
{
break;
}
}
//run next code in background thread:
[self shoot: [NSNumber numberWithInteger:NUMSHOTS] : videoConnection]; //capture is done for continous repeat this method
//end of background thread
//run on main thread:
_Capturebtn.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
}
- (void)shoot:(NSNumber *)counter : (AVCaptureConnection *) videoConnection {
int n = [counter intValue];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
[self burstModeCapture: videoConnection : n];
});
}
It seems that completionHandler defaults to main thread. Again the code works, but fails after a while, any help would be really appreciated!
