I got fed up with the complexities of the various iPhone flashlight apps I've tried, so I whipped up my own dead-simple flashlight app.

It has three buttons that control the LED on the back of the phone:

• On
• Off
• Flash (once per second)

That's it.

The Xcode project is set up to require iOS 6. (It will probably compile and run with older versions of iOS, but I haven't tried.) Also, the Info.plist specifies camera-flash as a required device capability, so you won't be able to run it on a device that does not have an LED flash.
