ios – Why setting videoRotation on AVCaptureConnection causes torch to turn off

I’m working on a camera app that records video, for that purpose, the app has to take into account the fact that the user might rotate his phone before starting a capture. So, before starting the recording, im getting the AVCaptureConnection associated with my active AVCaptureVideoDataOutput and setting connection’s videoOrientation depending on device orientation. However, if the torch is on, this causes the torch to turn off.

Here’s the code snippet for setting orientation on the connection:

let orientation = UIDevice.current.orientation
        let connection = videoDataOutput?.connection(with: .video)
        var rotationAngle: CGFloat
        var videoOrientation: AVCaptureVideoOrientation
        switch orientation {
        case .portrait:
            rotationAngle = 0
            videoOrientation = .portrait
        case .landscapeLeft:
            rotationAngle = 90
            videoOrientation = .landscapeRight
        case .landscapeRight:
            rotationAngle = -90
            videoOrientation = .landscapeLeft
        case .portraitUpsideDown:
            rotationAngle = 180
            videoOrientation = .portraitUpsideDown
        default:
            rotationAngle = 0
            videoOrientation = .portrait
        }
        if #available(iOS 17.0, *) {
            if connection?.isVideoRotationAngleSupported(rotationAngle) ?? false {
                connection?.videoRotationAngle = rotationAngle
            }
        } else {
            // Fallback on earlier versions
            if connection?.isVideoOrientationSupported ?? false {
                connection?.videoOrientation = videoOrientation
            }
        }

The native camera and other camera apps dont seem to have such issue, I’m also on iOS 16.6.1
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
