@bkarv I’ve had to code in an alternative for PWA’s using input type=“file” for the time being.

I based my solution on @judgewest2000’s example… Refer https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/ionic-4-pwa-camera/151148/3 and https://github.com/judgewest2000/IonicPwa (I removed the capture attribute to trigger an action sheet prompt for image source).
