I am opening my camera in a custom view(cameraView) and It is working fine for Back camera but the issue comes when I switch it to front using a custom turn button(TurnCamera)
, I got the following:
input "AVCaptureFigVideoDevice: 0x1035c9e80 [Front Camera][com.apple.avfoundation.avcapturedevice.built-in_video:1]"
but my custom camera view is still showing the back camera, and getting captureSession.canAddInput(input) = false
, Should I give any access into info.plist for Front camera.
My code for open camera is:-
func camera(){
let devices = AVCaptureDevice.devices(for: AVMediaType.video)
currentCaptureDevice = (usingFrontCamera ? getFrontCamera() : getBackCamera())
print(currentCaptureDevice)
for device in devices{
do{
let input = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: currentCaptureDevice!)
if captureSession.canAddInput(input){
captureSession.addInput(input)
sessionOutput.outputSettings = [AVVideoCodecKey: AVVideoCodecJPEG]
if captureSession.canAddOutput(sessionOutput){
captureSession.startRunning()
captureSession.addOutput(sessionOutput)
previewLayer = AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer(session: captureSession)
previewLayer.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravity.resizeAspectFill
previewLayer.connection?.videoOrientation = AVCaptureVideoOrientation.portrait
cameraView.layer.addSublayer(previewLayer)
previewLayer.position = CGPoint(x: self.cameraView.frame.width/2, y: self.cameraView.frame.height/2)
cameraView.contentMode = .scaleToFill
previewLayer.bounds = cameraView.frame
}
}
}
catch{
print("error")
}
}
}
function for get Back camera is:-
func getBackCamera() -> AVCaptureDevice{
return AVCaptureDevice.default(for: AVMediaType.video)!
}
function for get front camera is:-
func getFrontCamera() -> AVCaptureDevice?{
let videoDevices = AVCaptureDevice.devices(for: AVMediaType.video)
for device in videoDevices{
let device = device as! AVCaptureDevice
if device.position == AVCaptureDevice.Position.front {
return device
}
}
return nil
}
Button action for switch camera: -
@IBAction func TurnCamera(_ sender: UIButton) {
usingFrontCamera = !usingFrontCamera
camera()
}

Thanks in Advance
I got the Answer, I was not Removing the capture session inputs, when toggle from back to Front.
I did changes in Two functions only 1:- Earlier
func getBackCamera() -> AVCaptureDevice{
return AVCaptureDevice.default(for: AVMediaType.video)!
}
Now,
func getBackCamera() -> AVCaptureDevice{
for i in captureSession.inputs {
captureSession.removeInput(i as! AVCaptureInput)
}
return AVCaptureDevice.default(for: AVMediaType.video)!
}
2:- Earlier,
func getFrontCamera() -> AVCaptureDevice?{
let videoDevices = AVCaptureDevice.devices(for: AVMediaType.video)
for device in videoDevices{
let device = device as! AVCaptureDevice
if device.position == AVCaptureDevice.Position.front {
return device
}
}
return nil
}
Now,
func getFrontCamera() -> AVCaptureDevice?{
for i in captureSession.inputs {
captureSession.removeInput(i as! AVCaptureInput)
}
let videoDevices = AVCaptureDevice.devices(for: AVMediaType.video)
for device in videoDevices{
let device = device
if device.position == AVCaptureDevice.Position.front {
return device
}
}
return nil
}
