Hi,  
platform - iOS  
One of the workflows in my tests access the inbuilt camera. Is there a way I can take the picture from the camera, use photo?  
Is it even possible with iOS?

Any kind of information is really appreciated.

Thanks!!

Only in Simulator. Last time as i remember it goes to gallery instead. Here we can use pre uploaded photo.
