AVCaptureMetadataOutput .face Not Triggering on iOS 26 – Regression or Intended Change?

Issue:

In iOS 26 (tested on Developer Beta), AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate no longer receives callbacks when using .face detection.

metadataOutput.metadataObjectTypes = [.face]

Me too

After iPadOS 26 beta and iOS 26 beta, AVCaptureMetadataOutput no longer detects Face on some devices.

I have provided feedback to Apple and am waiting for their resolution
