Camera functionality is not available in any iOS version and in any Simulator. You will have to use a real device for camera testing purposes.
iOS Simulator vs Physical iOS Devices for App TestingThe Apple iOS Simulator, which ships as part of Xcode, is a tool for developing and prototyping your mobile app. While the iOS Simulator can be used to test your app's basic behaviour, it is severely limited as a testing platform.
To launch a Simulator without running an appChoose Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Simulator. Control-click the Xcode icon in the Dock, and from the shortcut menu, choose Open Developer Tool > Simulator.
7. Remoted iOS Simulator for Windows PC. Another popular option to test iOS applications on your Windows PC is Remoted iOS Simulator for Windows. It's a developer-focused tool that comes pre-loaded as a part of Xamarin in Visual Studio.
You cannot take image via Mac's webcam from iPhone Simulator. For camera, you need to test it on a device.
