Given the following code, The buttons does not show up on the toolbar. Is there something wrong? 

UIImagePickerController* cameraPickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
cameraPickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
cameraPickerController.delegate =self;
cameraPickerController.showsCameraControls = NO;
cameraPickerController.toolbarHidden = NO;

UIBarButtonItem *cancelBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Cancel" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target: self action: @selector(cancel)];
UIBarButtonItem *flexibleBarSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
flexibleBarSpace.width = 1000;
UIBarButtonItem *cameraBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCamera target:cameraPickerController action:@selector(takePicture)];
UIBarButtonItem *faceBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Show facemask" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target: self action: @selector(showFacemask)];
cameraPickerController.toolbar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:cancelBarButtonItem,flexibleBarSpace,cameraBarButtonItem,flexibleBarSpace,faceBarButtonItem,nil];

[self presentModalViewController:cameraPickerController animated:YES];

Those cancelBarButtons and other should in theory show up on the toolbar. However, it does not in this case. Please advise.

    You can not add items to the toolbar because it has not been presented yet by the UIImagePickerController (I think.) Instead try this:

    UIImagePickerController* cameraPickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
cameraPickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
cameraPickerController.delegate =self;
cameraPickerController.showsCameraControls = NO;

UIToolbar *theToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 436, 320, 44)];

UIBarButtonItem *cancelBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Cancel" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target: self action: @selector(cancel)];
UIBarButtonItem *flexibleBarSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
flexibleBarSpace.width = 1000;
UIBarButtonItem *cameraBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCamera target:cameraPickerController action:@selector(takePicture)];
UIBarButtonItem *faceBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Show facemask" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target: self action: @selector(showFacemask)];

theToolbar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:cancelBarButtonItem, flexibleBarSpace, cameraBarButtonItem, faceBarButtonItem, nil];

[cameraPickerController setCameraOverlayView:theToolbar];

[self presentModalViewController:cameraPickerController animated:YES];

    Basically I just created a new toolbar and set it up as the cameraOverlayView.

    Cheers!
