Open varundabke opened 3 years ago

varundabke commented 3 years ago

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

Screenshots

Code Snippets Solution to this as described below must be included by default in webview fallback: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40659198/how-to-access-the-camera-from-within-a-webview

And here are necessary steps for enabling mic: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40236925/allowing-microphone-accesspermission-in-webview-android-studio-java

(This is just a note for developers. Probably the only solution is use customtabs instead and wait for the fix.)
