Hi,

We have three main requirements:

  1. Use the phones camera to take a picture via the app - we are trying to use this approach APP INVENTOR TUTORIAL – TAKING PICTURES WITH CAMERA | Bermotech
  2. Send the picture from an APP via HTTP POST to a web API trying to use this approach Using Web APIs with JSON
  3. Prevent the app from saving the picture to the phone for confidentially reasons.- not sure how?

Any idea how to prevent the picture from being stored?
Thanks

Just delete the image from the device, once you have sent it to your online resource.

You could also save a (thumbnail) image directly to base64 using an extension, then just delete the base64string.
