iOS web. Webrtc does not have permission in Chrome but works on iOS safari and firefox

[gedw99]

Am trying this out from an iOS device.

It’s using Chrome.

When I press the Green button to enable webrtc is barks at me this:

I wonder if it’s a permission problem.

Also it might work if it’s added using A2HS

On iOS Firefox it works it seems

On iOS safari it also seems to work.

Perhaps https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208667 ? If so, then it's an iOS bug that's fixed in iOS 14 beta 2.

I am using iOS 15 btw .

So I doubt it’s that bug

Could you please test whether you see the same problem with other WebRTC software? For example the Janus echo test?

Safari and Firefox works

It’s chrome bug it seems.

Thanks for the tests. I'll get in touch with some wise people to see if they understand the issue.

sorry i could not help more. If you need more testing let me know.

This is what @lminiero told me on the subject (quoted with his permission):

Just a quick update, since one of my colleagues has an iPhone, and it's exactly what I thought: he had to go to the settings, search "Chrome", and then enable access to both Microphone and Webcam. After he did that, the Janus EchoTest demo worked as expected.

I'm closing this bug, since it doesn't seem to be specific to Galene. Please reopen if you disagree.

Hey @jech

thanks for feedback.

It maybe that a Service worker helps remedy this. I raised another issue about that. Worth trying perhaps.
