Description
Using the standard methods for taking a photo or video, the camera does not provide means to toggle the front or back camera or the flash.
It's possible this could be native to the picker now. I don't know.
To reproduce, use the KitchenSink camera examples.
It would be good to have the ability in the Titanium SDK to use the AVFoundation / AVCaptureConnection methods. That way, developers could have absolute total control over all available camera features and never have to worry about the differences when using an overlay or not.
If I understand correctly, the desire here is to have more finite control over the camera features especially in cases where a custom overlay is used. Our current implementation offers "showControls" which when true displays the native controls with flash control (if available), Camera choice (front/back) and a shutter control. If you set showControls false (as you would with a custom overlay), then you get no control over these items. Should we change the ticket type to a feature?
We're going to pursue the module fix instead.
Closing ticket as the issue will not fix and with reference to the above comments.
