Crashing Upon Clicking Camera Button

After clicking on the camera button I get the error from the console on the main.m file:

"*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Source type 1 not available'"

From my research I know it's because of the camera not being available. (Using 'I know' loosely :) )

I have tried ...TypePhotoLibrary and ...TypeSavedPhotosAlbum.

Here is my code:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
    self.imagePicker.delegate = self;
    self.imagePicker.allowsEditing = NO;


    if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]) {
        self.imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
    }
    else {
        self.imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;
            }
    self.imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
    self.imagePicker.mediaTypes = [UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:self.imagePicker.sourceType];
    [self presentViewController:self.imagePicker animated:NO completion:nil];

 self.imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;

That seemed like extra code so I deleted it, still crashes
