Hey guys, is it possible to use the font facing mac camera from xcode playgrounds in mac? I am trying to access the camera but i am unable to do so. The code works fine in Xcode but not in Xcode playgrounds. My app relies on the front facing camera and also I do not have an iPad to work on this project. This is the code I am using to access the camera:
let captureSession = AVCaptureSession()
var captureDevice: AVCaptureDevice!
func prepareCamera() {
captureDevice = AVCaptureDevice.default(for: AVMediaType.video)
beginSession()
}
func beginSession() {
do {
let input = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: captureDevice)
captureSession.addInput(input)
} catch {
}
captureSession.beginConfiguration()
captureSession.sessionPreset = .vga640x480
let dataOutput = AVCaptureVideoDataOutput()
dataOutput.videoSettings = [kCVPixelBufferPixelFormatTypeKey as String: Int(kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarFullRange)]
dataOutput.alwaysDiscardsLateVideoFrames = true
if captureSession.canAddOutput(dataOutput) {
captureSession.addOutput(dataOutput)
}
captureSession.commitConfiguration()
let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "captureQueue")
dataOutput.setSampleBufferDelegate(self, queue: queue)
captureSession.startRunning()
}
Any help would be appreciated.
