Permissions catching error when trying to use camera or video recorder

[haiderghaleb]

Hello, I'm trying to use videorecorder plugin which has your dependency.

I tracked down the issue that the permissions are not being granted and catching error

I made sure that in the Manifest I gave all the permissions needed but when I'm logging out the error this is what I'm getting

JS: === dump(): dumping members ===
JS: {
JS:     "nativeException": {
JS:         "constructor": "constructor()function () { [native code] }"
JS:     }
JS: }
JS: === dump(): dumping function and properties names ===
JS: === dump(): finished ===
JS: Oops, I'm so sad, I was only granted 0 of 4 permissions!
JS: === dump(): dumping members ===
JS: {
JS:     "event": "camera permission needed"
JS: }
JS: === dump(): dumping function and properties names ===
JS: === dump(): finished ===

Do you think we can fix this issue?

You need to make sure you put the permissions you need ALSO in the android manifest. If you don't have the permission in your manifest; the ability to get permissions at run time will fail and will be rejected. (This is a google requirement, not something we did).

That error message above is not something that the plugin throws.

Demo VideoRecorder has the manifest permissions here: https://github.com/triniwiz/nativescript-videorecorder/blob/master/demo/app/App_Resources/Android/AndroidManifest.xml#L23
