camera auto-focus rectangle with cameraOverlayView

[Tambourin]

I want to have the camera auto-focus rectangle in my app to be able to focus manually somewhere by taping at it.
However when I set the camera overlay view to my own view the auto-focus rectangle disappears.
I know it is possible to have both a costomized overlay view and the auto-focus rectangle, since other apps like Camera Genius do it.
Anyone knows how they do this?

Did you ever figure that out? Perhaps one way other apps have worked around this is by NOT using the custom overlay feature at all, and instead just add a subview with their own frame (if that's the only thing they needed to tweak in the default camera behavior)?

Does anybody have the answer to this?

I just found out the answer is pretty simple. Whether you see a square or not, when you touch the screen, it does work. Try it. You just need to draw your own square with animation.
