Cannot start iPhone X flash in touch mode

I'm having problems running the iPhone X in torch mode.

Back AVCaptureDeviceTypeBuiltInTelephotoCamera, selected as a capture device:

com.apple.avfoundation.avcapturedevice.built-in_video:2' -
AVCaptureDeviceTypeBuiltInTelephotoCamera

After checking the availability of touch mode:

[self.captureDevice isTorchModeSupported:AVCaptureTorchModeOn]

I am trying to switch the flash to torch mode using

[self.captureDevice lockForConfiguration:nil];
BOOL result = [self.captureDevice setTorchModeOnWithLevel:1 error:&error];
[self.captureDevice unlockForConfiguration];

This call is successful. result == YES and error == nil. But the flashing indicator flashes once, then turns off.

I saw this behavior on the iPhone X myself, and there are reports of the same behavior from the owners of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Some users say that this problem appeared after updating to iOS 11.1. But I could not play it from the iPhone 8.

Any ideas how to fix or debug this problem?

Full code snippet from my application below:
