i want to take a picture programmatically by the front camera in my iphone app i don\'t want the user to pick or do any interaction with the image picker .. just want to
EDIT: My bad, it seems you can actually do that from AVCaptureSession. Though I can't wrap my mind why should this be possible. Seems like a potential ground for abuse to me.
Original (wrong) answer: No, it is not possible to take photos without user interaction, no matter if it's the front or back camera.
