Camera not working in ios & android app:

[online123be]

When running instagram it is working fine in webbrowser & phonebrowser (safari, chrome, ...) on ios, windows, mac, ... But when I open the exact same page via webview on phonegap webview app i dont get any camera feed. (also no permission is being asked, it is declared in the info.plist) When inspect with safari on the app developer mode I get this error: Unhandled Promise Rejection: Error: Cannot access video stream (TypeError).

on line 30429: _var _this = possibleConstructorReturn(this, (MediaError.proto || Object.getPrototypeOf(MediaError)).call(this, 'Cannot access video stream (' + type + ').'));

Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks a lot!

I dont know if it can help you, but i just was in a similar case (but android native) and it started working via webview (WebRTC) after asking the permissions on run since it seems like since API 23 user needs to grant permissions to app while the app is running, not when they install the app. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45837123/how-to-get-permission-to-access-camera-in-android-webview/45837161

So maybe it's an issue with phonegap camera permissions on android 6/+?

This java code helped me for android 6/+ :

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    ...
  
    String permission = Manifest.permission.CAMERA;
    int grant = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, permission);
     
    if (grant != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        String[] permission_list = new String[1];
        permission_list[0] = permission;
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, permission_list, 1);
    } 
    
    webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
    
                @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
                @Override
                public void onPermissionRequest(final PermissionRequest request) {
                    request.grant(request.getResources());
                }
    }
}
