UIImagePickerController camera view rotating strangely on iOS 8 (pictures)

Question

I have a very simple application: - All orientations are permitted with only a button on a screen - The button show a UIImagePickerController (to take a photo)

As @hitme said, it is a bug in iOS 8, but you can work around the issue by setting -[UIImagePickerController cameraViewTransform] before presenting it:

CGFloat angle;
switch (interfaceOrientation)
{
    case UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft:
        angle = M_PI_2;
        break;

    case UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight:
        angle = -M_PI_2;
        break;

    case UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown:
        angle = M_PI;
        break;

    default:
        angle = 0;
        break;
}
imagePicker.cameraViewTransform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation);
