I have the following code to determine ProRes and HDR support on iOS devices.

extension AVCaptureDevice.Format {

    var supports10bitHDR:Bool {
        let mediaType = CMFormatDescriptionGetMediaType(formatDescription)
        let mediaSubtype = CMFormatDescriptionGetMediaSubType(formatDescription)
        return mediaType == kCMMediaType_Video && mediaSubtype == kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr10BiPlanarVideoRange

    }

    var supportsProRes422:Bool {
        let mediaType = CMFormatDescriptionGetMediaType(formatDescription)
        let mediaSubtype = CMFormatDescriptionGetMediaSubType(formatDescription)

        return (mediaType == kCMMediaType_Video && (mediaSubtype == kCVPixelFormatType_422YpCbCr10BiPlanarVideoRange))
    }
}

On iPad Pro M2, supportsProRes422 returns false for all device formats (for wide angle camera). Is it a bug or intentional?

Dear @AVFoundation Engineers,

Any inputs on this? Still waiting to hear.
