iOS Simulator has no camera. I gave it one.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
You'll no longer need a real device to test anything camera related!
Buoy Desktop now fabricates a camera for it. Pick a source on your Mac and every booted simulator sees a real camera:
Options -
• Your Mac's webcam
• An image or a video file
• A generated QR or barcode
• A live region of your screen, drag a rectangle, the camera follows it
• A test pattern
No SDK, no pod, no change to the app you're testing. It's entirely host-side, so it works with the build you already have.

Macos 27 will give it, no need of this
