Whenever we try to take a picture, the camera never pops up, and no error is given in the console

Is there any code involved?

    try {
      await requestPermissions();
      const imageAsset = await takePicture({
        width: 100,
        height: 100,
        allowsEditing: true,
        keepAspectRatio: true,
      });
      return imageAsset;
    } catch (err) {
      this.alertRefusedPermissions({
        title: "Accès à l'appareil photo refusé",
        message:
          "l'accès à l'appareil photo a été refusé, veuillez l'activer via la page paramètres afin de l'utiliser",
      });
      throw 'Permissions refused';
    }

I am seeing the same thing, it does not work for me unless I use nativescript@6.7.4 to build anything higher and I see this behavior.

For me it was down to tarketSDK, newer cli defaulting it to 30, changing it to 29 in settings.json and it now works.

Same issue here

DanielDent commented 3 years ago

I believe the issue is that the plugin is currently only compatible with API level 28. At API level 29, adding android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" to the app manifest is available as a workaround, but this option is no longer available at API level 30.

I am experiencing the same problem.

Phone: Google Pixel (3a &4XL) Android version: 11 tns-android: 6.5.3 nativescript/core: 6.5.12 nativescript-camera: 4.5.0

This problem did not exist with Android 10 or with any other brand of phone (only Google Phones)

The suggestion to set the targetSDK to 28 or 29 did not help.
android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" is already part of out AndroidManistest.
I also don't understand the following suggestion "nativescript@6.7.4" -> there is no nativescript/core version 6.7.4!

Trial and error has determined the problem to be the following condition: " if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(utils.ad.getApplicationContext().getPackageManager()) != null) " -> found in /node_modules/nativescript-camer/camera.android.js -> If the condition is deleted, then the camera opens!

I would very much appreciate suggestions on how to reactive the camera function, without forking the project and deleting the condition.

Thank you for your help!

Same thing here... Any update?

AnthonyLenglet commented 2 years ago

I haven't personally touched the project in a bit, but we're not getting any issues on our end anymore since having updated everything to "@nativescript/camera": "^5.0.6" and "@nativescript/core": "~8.1.1"

since this no longer seems to be a problem on the newer version, I will close this issue

NativeScript / nativescript-camera
