I'm doing an ios app with a button that launch the camera.
I want to enable/disable the button if the device has a camera available or not.
I want to detect if the device has a camera and also when the device has camera but it's restricted (with this) so you can't use it.
How can I detect these two options?
Thanks
As stated elsewhere, checking the AVAuthorizationStatus
won't actually tell you if it's restricted, despite the presence of a "restricted" value in the enum.
Instead, I have found that checking if source is enabled to be helpful:
BOOL isCameraAvailable = [UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
If isCameraAvailable
is NO
then the user has most likely disabled camera in Restrictions. See Detect existence of camera in iPhone app?
