Good Morning,
in the Xcode9 Golden Master it seems that `supportedFlashMode` is missing for AVCapturePhotoOutput. The API Changes indicates no changes for the AVFoundation Framework from Xcode 9 Beta 6 to Xcode 9 GM, but it seems to have a changed.
Can anybody else confirm the problem?
Regards,
Andreas
Our apologies. For apps using Swift 3.2 or Swift 4.0, several AVFoundation capture APIs (public extensions on external protocol) were inadvertently marked private in Xcode 9.
The following AVFoundation API are temporarily unavailable:
* `AVCaptureDevice.Format.supportedColorSpaces`
* `AVCaptureDevice.supportedFlashModes`
* `AVCapturePhotoOutput.availablePhotoPixelFormatTypes`
* `AVCapturePhotoOutput.availableRawPhotoPixelFormatTypes`
* `AVCapturePhotoSettings.availablePreviewPhotoPixelFormatTypes`
As a workaround you can use the SwiftPrivate versions of these API by prepending each API with double underscore (`__`). For example, change `AVCaptureDevice.Format.supportedColorSpaces` to `AVCaptureDevice.Format.__supportedColorSpaces`.
We have the same problem. It seems like `supportedFlashModes` is removed from `AVCapturePhotoOutput` documentation as well.
I think this is just a bug with the GM and will be fixed in the final release. For the time being the workaround is to use the undocumented `__supportedFlashModes` instead.
Thank goodness I found this. `__supportedFlashModes` works, but… uurgh!

Are we allowed to submit a build using these private APIs without rejection in the meantime?
We will be allowed to submit to the store using as is?
This issue is still in the Xcode 9 released today (public version)
I can confirm that use of these __*** versions of the APIs is legitimate and is not considered SPI use.
Nothing specific about this thread, I am just curious what does SPI stand for?
Likely "System Private Interface"
Code Block swift #if targetEnvironment(simulator) let pixelFormat = photoSettings.__availablePreviewPhotoPixelFormatTypes.first! #else let pixelFormat = photoSettings.availablePreviewPhotoPixelFormatTypes.first! #endif // make use of `pixelFormat`
