Cordova camera not working

VoltBuilder
1

Hello,

do not get the Cordova camera plugin working.

Even the sample from AppStudio does not work.

Other plugins do work just fine (Barcode, …).

Config.xml:

When testing it on my iPhone (native app built using Volt.Builder) the app crashes when trying to access the camera.

Anyone having the same issue?

Or any idea for a solution?

Thank you!

Greetings,

Olaf

Android

Try adding this line to config.xml:

<preference name="AndroidInsecureFileModeEnabled" value="true" />

This is required due to a recent change that Google made.

iOS

Try adding these lines to config.xml:

<platform name="ios">
  <edit-config target="NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist" mode="overwrite">
    <string>Allow the app to know your location</string>
  </edit-config>
  <edit-config target="NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist" mode="overwrite">
    <string>Allow the app to know your location</string>
  </edit-config>
  <edit-config target="NSCameraUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist" mode="overwrite">
    <string>App would like to access Camera to take picture of any document that you want to upload as attachment to your message</string>
  </edit-config>
  <edit-config target="NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist" mode="overwrite">
    <string>Allow the app to open Photo Library to take picture of any document that you want to upload as attachment to your message</string>
  </edit-config>
</platform>

iOS now requires permissions in the app before you can use the camera.

These lines have been added to the sample in the next build.
