Scan in App Browser (Webapp)

[gassssty]

Hi again! :D

I've already open the camera in my web-app but the problem is that it opens the FRONT camera and not the REAR.

I am trying to do this on IOS and Android. On IOS, it works the camera but it is the front camera... but in Android neither the camera works.

Any suggestion?

As mentioned in the docs, the web feature is currently in development and not really supported so far.
There are multiple problems with the current implementation starting with the performance and ending with missing implementations of some functions...

I am not really able to help right now since this is not the highest priority, but I am of course open to accept PRs ;)

The first thing to do in the web implementation would be to find a better plugin to get better results, I already tested some WebAssembly libs which provide pretty decent results, but unfortunately it is kinda tricky to implement since one of the licenses won't allow bundling one of the libs.

Okay, yes sure!
I'll see what can I do.

By the way, good job! And thanks for all the answers :D

Hi @thegnuu , what I don't understand is how @saimon24 can make it works in his webview. We see in the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GXfjDUCYjU that he run the app with livereload so through the webview on his phone, and it seems to work perfectly.
However on my side on the web (webview), only the front camera open and not the back.

Pretty sure he is not using the web implementation, looks like a live view of an android device, so the android implementation is used in this case.

Support for web was initially added in the last release as "beta" two weeks ago and the video was uploaded one year ago ;)
