Camera and Mic not accessible

[varundabke]

Describe the bug TWA WebView Fallback lacks ability to access camera and microphone. During Pandemic many organizations are using Audio / Video chat in their app. This issue is a show stopper for them.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create TWA which uses Camera / Microphone & install on your phone ( using www.pwabuilder.com )
2. Uninstall / Disable all other browsers on phone.
3. Launch the app
4. Webview will open , but camera and mic functionality will not be available Expected behavior WebView fall back must be coded to handle Camera, Mic , Gelocation and similar services by default.

Did this ever used to work No
