zxing.HasTorch returns false on Android even phone has a torch

I tried your sample and code below doesn’t display the flash button although my phone has has torch, HasTorch returns always false. If set it true, torch is just working fine on my code. it seems like a bug on android. I tried 3 beta as well. same problem

	overlay = new ZXingDefaultOverlay()
			{
				TopText = "Hold your phone up to the barcode",
				BottomText = "Scanning will happen automatically",
				ShowFlashButton = zxing.HasTorch,
                AutomationId = "zxingDefaultOverlay",
			};

I had the same issue and it appeared that I didn’t have the Android FLASHLIGHT permission in the AndroidManifest.xml (silly me).
