Using mac book built in camera with iOS simulator

Question

I am new to iOS application development and I am using XCode4. I am trying to develop an application which uses the camera. For testing is there a way to integrate the built in camera of mac book to iOS simulator..?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You cannot use mac book's camera. For camera, you need to test it on a device.

From Apple documentation,

The following hardware is not supported in Simulator:

• Ambient light sensor
• Audio input, except for using Siri by choosing Hardware > Siri.
• Barometer
• Bluetooth
• Camera
• Motion support (accelerometer and gyroscope)
• Proximity sensor
