Crash in AVCaptureSession when adding an AVCaptureDeviceInput
<p>I have a weird crash showing on Crashlytics when setting up a camera session. 
The stacktrace shows that the crash occurred at the method addInput. </p>

<pre><code>func setupCamSession(){
    self.captureSession = AVCaptureSession()
    self.cameraView.setSession(self.captureSession)
    self.sessionQueue = dispatch_queue_create("com.myapp.camera_queue", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL)
    self.setupResult = .Success
    switch AVCaptureDevice.authorizationStatusForMediaType(AVMediaTypeVideo){
    case .Authorized:
        break //already we set it to success
    case .NotDetermined:
        // The user has not yet been presented with the option to grant video access.
        // We suspend the session queue to delay session setup until the access request has completed 
        dispatch_suspend(self.sessionQueue)

        }
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>The setupCamSession is called in viewDidLoad, the runSession in viewWillAppear and I have also a stopSession method in viewWillDisappear. Everything related to the camera session is dispatched on a background serial queue.</p>

<p>The crash doesn't happen 100% of the time and I am unable to reproduce the crash on the device I use. 
Thanks
