Prerequisite: After the MDM APP issues the command, the camera on the phone is no longer visible (unusable). After upgrading to iOS 26.1, the isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method keeps returning true when the camera is unavailable. The isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method on iOS 26.0.1 is normal, returning false when the camera is unavailable and true when it is available.
IOS 26.1 isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method keeps returning true when the camera is unavailable
We have encountered the same issue: in iOS 26.1 Beta 1, the behavior was normal, but after upgrading to iOS 26.1 Beta 2, regardless of whether the device has a camera, [UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera] always returns YES (true). We hope this can be fixed in the next version.
Have either of you filed a bug on this? If so, what's the bug number?
