I have created my camera view following the demo project on GitHub from SwiftyCam Everything lays out correctly and is going well; however, when the camera button is pushed I get a message in the console saying "[SwiftyCam]: Cannot take photo. Capture session is not running". There have been other people having this problem with swift 4 and you can find that here. I have gone through the whole framework line by line but for some reason I can't figure it out. I would really appreciate it if someone could look at the framework and the documentation and help me out. The way I'm doing it is just about exactly how it's done in the Swift 4 demo project so that would be the code reference.
Thank you in advance
EDIT: Below is the code when setting up the SwipeNavigationController after the WelcomeVC
let swipeNavigationController = SwipeNavigationController(centerViewController: CameraViewController())
swipeNavigationController.topViewController = BlueView()
swipeNavigationController.bottomViewController = PinkView()
swipeNavigationController.leftViewController = OrangeView()
swipeNavigationController.rightViewController = GreenView()
cameraView.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(true, animated: false)
orangeView.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(false, animated: false)
greenView.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(false, animated: false)
let navController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: swipeNavigationController)
self.present(navController, animated: true, completion: nil)

This is what it looks like when a user swipes to another view, as well as the buttons aren't responsive and the user can't swipe up or down for those views either.
Here is an example of a view I'm trying to present when the user swipes from left to right or clicks the pink messages button.
class MessagesView: UITableViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
setupNavBar()
navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden = false
if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.largeTitleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
} else {
// Fallback on earlier versions
}
}
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.largeTitleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
setupNavBar()
} else {
setupNavBar()
}
}
func setupNavBar() {
UIApplication.shared.statusBarStyle = .lightContent
self.navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden = false
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.title = "Messages"
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.pinkNeonColor
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.white
}
}
