In my App I'm capturing images using AVFoundation
I made a button to switch between front and back cameras but it won't work.
Here's the code I used :
if (captureDevice.position == AVCaptureDevicePositionFront) {
for ( AVCaptureDevice *device in [AVCaptureDevice devicesWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo] ) {
if ( device.position == AVCaptureDevicePositionBack) {
NSError * error;
AVCaptureDeviceInput * newDeviceInput = [[AVCaptureDeviceInput alloc]initWithDevice:device error:&error];
[captureSesion beginConfiguration];
for (AVCaptureDeviceInput *oldInput in [captureSesion inputs]) {
[captureSesion removeInput:oldInput];
}
if ([captureSesion canAddInput:newDeviceInput]) {
[captureSesion addInput:newDeviceInput];
}
[captureSesion commitConfiguration];
break;
}
}
}
THX.

sessionPreset
is not compatible with the camera you're switching to it will fail thecanAddInput
test. I always reset toAVCaptureSessionPresetHigh
before toggling cameras then try to switch it to whatever preset I have preferred. Here's the code I use:I have seen issues with toggle code not working if it is not run on the main thread. Can you try wrapping your code with the following block:
