Can't get devices using AVCaptureDevice

I was able to find a code that would give me access to phone devices (for example, a camera). The problem is when I compile the code (and I print to different devices) with Xcode, I get an empty array.

Here's what I wrote:

import UIKit
import AVFoundation

class ViewController: UIViewController {

  let captureSession = AVCaptureSession()
  var previewLayer : AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer?

  // If we find a device we'll store it here for later us
  var captureDevice : AVCaptureDevice?

  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()            
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    captureSession.sessionPreset = AVCaptureSessionPresetHigh

    let devices = AVCaptureDevice.devices()
    println(devices)
    // Loop through all the capture devices on this phone
    for (device in devices) {
        // Make sure this particular device supports video
        if (device.hasMediaType(AVMediaTypeVideo)) {
         // Finally check the position and confirm we've got the back camera
            if(device.position == AVCaptureDevicePosition.Back) {
                captureDevice = device as? AVCaptureDevice
                if captureDevice != nil {
                    println("Capture device found")
                    beginSession()
                }
            }
        }
      }

    }

    func beginSession() {

      var err : NSError? = nil
      captureSession.addInput(AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: captureDevice, error: &err))

      if err != nil {
          println("error: \(err?.localizedDescription)")
      }

      previewLayer = AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer(session: captureSession)
      self.view.layer.addSublayer(previewLayer)
      previewLayer?.frame = self.view.layer.frame

      captureSession.startRunning()

    }

  }

      

        
        
        
      

    

Do you have any ideas as to why I am getting an empty array?
