How to get front camera, back camera and audio with AVCaptureDeviceDiscoverySession

Question

Before iOS 10 came out I was using the following code to get the video and audio capture for my video recorder:

 for device in AVCaptureDevice.devices()
 {
          


        

Answer 1

For my video capture app I'm using the following code to get the mic, front and rear camera and I've tested this code from iOS 7 to 10.0.2.

        var frontCamera : AVCaptureDevice?
        var rearCamera : AVCaptureDevice?

        captureSession = AVCaptureSession()

        let devices = AVCaptureDevice.devicesWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeVideo)

        let audioDevices = AVCaptureDevice.devicesWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeAudio)

        for mic in audioDevices {
            audioDevice = mic as? AVCaptureDevice
            audioCapturePossible = true
        }

        for device in devices {
            if device.position == AVCaptureDevicePosition.Front {
                frontCamera = device as? AVCaptureDevice
                hasFrontCamera = true
            }
            else if device.position == AVCaptureDevicePosition.Back {
                rearCamera = device as? AVCaptureDevice
                hasRearCamera = true
            }

        }
