Xcode and swift load default camera view

I would like to use the default camera view that you can use when opening the camera app and being able to select photos. After that, I would like to make a request and send the photo using an API. Would this be possible?

There are two different controllers, one for the camera and the other is photos.

For the camera, you can use: UIImagePickerController example source code for launching the camera from your view controller:

    UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
    picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
    [presentingViewController presentViewController:_picker animated:YES completion:nil];

    //In delegate method you will receive image 
    - (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info{
         //process your image here and do whatever you want to do
     }

The same controller can be used for selecting images too (by specifying picker.sourceType value as UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary), from iOS 14 new API is introduced for supporting multiple image selection: PHImagePickerViewController. Check this link provides sample code from apple and WWDC talk about this new API: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/photokit/selecting_photos_and_videos_in_ios
