Udini SDK

https://github.com/IxorTalk/udini-ios-sdk
Udini is an access control tool that allows users to authenticate themselves against physical hardware devices in order to have access granted to them. This access might come in the form of a door that unlocks, a light that is turned on, an audio recording that is played. There is no inherent limit to the types of applications that can make use of it.

This the documentation of the Udini Objective C (Swift 5 compatible) SDK

Snappr

The Snappr Fisheye app instantly shoots strikingly original, dynamic fisheye photos. No ponderous swapping between the front and back of your camera—simply select your lens and snapp away immediately.
