Can we automate the inbuilt camera functionality using Appium on ios device - appium

I am planning to automate my iOS native app using Appium. My app has the functionality of taking pictures. I researched little bit on this but couldn't find any help on iOS.
I got some info from the NET to automate Android Camera, but my app supports only iOS. Can any one please help me on this?

Deploying app for personal use on iOS device

I want to build a very simple gallery like app (which uses the Telegram bot API to fetch images from certain telegram channel). I want to have this app for both Android and iOS device. I guess either progressive web app or flutter could be used to achieve this. I have developed native android apps before, and wish to learn PWA or flutter along with this project.
So my question is, can I deploy this app to my iOS device without enrolling in the Apple developer program? Since this is only for personal use and I do not wish to publish this app on any app store. Also, do I need to have a Mac with Xcode to do this?!
Thanks in advance!
For developing a Progressive Web App for iOS, you won't need Xcode and a Macbook since it is basically still a website with enhancements. However, bear in mind that PWA support on iOS is very limited. Android has much better PWA support.

Black-box testing for IOS devices

I am looking for some tools that would enable an IOS app to be tested in an automated way without necessarily having access to the code (essentially black box testing). Currently I am exploring something like robotium to do just that in Android, but I also need to be able to test IOS apps. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions for doing this in IOS?
You have build in with Xcode Instruments UIAutomation.
But I recommend Appium because it supports Android and iOS.

Automate Screenshots for IOS

I am trying to build a tool that downloads an app from the market or App Store and run it on a device and take screenshots.
I have been successful in doing this on android devices by using monkey runner tool.
Is the same possible for iOS?
Starting with iOS 4.0 you can use UIAutomation to obtain this.

Game engine/framework with web deployment option

I know Unity can deploy to web besides iOS, Android and other devices. What are alternatives? Requirements are iOS and web. Android would be nice too.
Thanks
Adobe Air ... but it's very slow for complex apps(games). Adobe is working on making it competitive but right now it's not something you can use. I'm a flash developer myself and I choose Corona SDK for porting some of my games to iOS and Android.
If you want all 3 ... web, iOS, Android then Unity is the way to go.
