How to use UIImagePickerController in iPad?

Question

Hi i am working on a universal application (iPhone/iPad). one feature is that i have to select a photo from album and show it on UIImageView.

Now problem is that it is working good on iPhone but when i try to open photo album it crashes. my code in action sheet delegate is this:

- (void) actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
    if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad){
        if ( ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]))

        {   
            if (buttonIndex == 0)
            {
                [self lockAllImagesOnTheScreen];
                imagePicker.sourceType=UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
                [self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
            }
            if (buttonIndex == 1)
            {
                [self lockAllImagesOnTheScreen];

                imagePicker.sourceType= UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
                [self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
            }

        }
        else {

            if (buttonIndex == 0)
            {
                [self lockAllImagesOnTheScreen];
                imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;
                imagePicker.sourceType= UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
                [self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
            }
        }



    }

    else{
        if ( ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]))

        {   
            if (buttonIndex == 0)
            {
                [self lockAllImagesOnTheScreen];
                imagePicker.sourceType=UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
                [self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
            }
            if (buttonIndex == 1)
            {
                [self lockAllImagesOnTheScreen];

                imagePicker.sourceType= UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
                [self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
            }

        }
        else {

            if (buttonIndex == 0)
            {
                [self lockAllImagesOnTheScreen];
                imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;
                imagePicker.sourceType= UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
                [self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
            }
        }


    }


}

UIImagePickerController must be presented with UIPopoverController on iPad.

if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
    UIPopoverController *popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:picker];
    [popover presentPopoverFromRect:self.selectedImageView.bounds inView:self.selectedImageView permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
    self.popOver = popover;
} else {
    [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}

EDIT: Add a strong property for the UIPopoverController:

@property (nonatomic, strong) UIPopoverController *popOver;

The popover should be dismissed in the delegate methods:

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

-(void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
