But don’t forget that not every source type can give video
So, you then want to check ...
+ (NSArray *)availableMediaTypesForSourceType:(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType)sourceType;
Returns an array of strings you check against constants.
Check documentation for all possible, but there are two key ones ...
kUTTypeImage // pretty much all sources provide this
kUTTypeMovie // audio and video together, only some sources provide this
You can get even more specific about front/rear cameras
(Though usually this is not necessary.)
+ (BOOL)isCameraDeviceAvailable:(UIImagePickerControllerCameraDevice)cameraDevice;
Either UIImagePickerControllerCameraDeviceFront or UIImagePickerControllerCameraDeviceRear.
Then check out more about each available camera:
+ (BOOL)isFlashAvailableForCameraDevice:(UIImagePickerControllerCameraDevice);
+ (NSArray *)availableCaptureModesForCameraDevice:(UIImagePickerControllerCameraDevice);
This array contains NSNumber objects with constants UIImagePic...lerCaptureModePhoto/Video.
