[Bug] LibreCamera doesn't open from other apps #82

Open Cwpute opened 8 months ago

Cwpute commented 8 months ago

Describe the bug When any third party app needs to use the camera, the action in them that would open the camera doesn't work. It might be either of these two:

  1. LibreCamera isn't recognized as the default camera app, and no other app is available.
  2. LibreCamera starts but crashes. Although there is no black screen or no hint

Other Information:

Witnessed in Discord, Signal, Champignouf… and a good bunch of other apps.

Cinfirmed when using the conversations (xmpp) app. Claims no camera is installed.

Unfortunately this is a "security feature" that google introduced with android 11.
