iOS 10 Camera flash ON/OFF not working

Up to iOS 9 flash on / off / auto working fine. But in iOS 10 flash is not working.

    self.camObj = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];

    [self addCameraToTheScreen];
    NSArray *mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObject:(NSString*)kUTTypeMovie];
    self.camObj.mediaTypes = mediaTypes ;
    self.camObj.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
    self.camObj.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
    self.camObj.videoMaximumDuration = 10.0f;
    self.camObj.showsCameraControls = NO;
    self.camOptionsView.frame = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds;
    self.camObj.delegate = (id<UIImagePickerControllerDelegate,UINavigationControllerDelegate>)self;
    [self.camObj setCameraOverlayView:self.camOptionsView];

and programmatically changing flash mode.

 [self.camObj setCameraFlashMode:UIImagePickerControllerCameraFlashModeOn];
Solution

  • Issue solved on iOS 10.2 . Now manual camera flash mode handling works fine again, without need of enabling and disabling showsCameraControls.
