Set front-facing camera in Xcode.

else
    [session setSessionPreset:AVCaptureSessionPresetPhoto];

AVCaptureDevice *device = [AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];

    Add this method to iterate over existing devices checking its position:

    - (AVCaptureDevice *)frontCamera {
        NSArray *devices = [AVCaptureDevice devicesWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];
        for (AVCaptureDevice *device in devices) {
            if ([device position] == AVCaptureDevicePositionFront) {
                return device;
            }
        }
        return nil;
    }
    

    Then, replace:

    AVCaptureDevice *device = [AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];
    

    with:

    AVCaptureDevice *device = [self frontCamera];
