Camera's video not showing on iPhones, IPads and Chrome's Iphone/iPad simulator

See original GitHub issue

When watched from an iPhone (tested with iPhone X, iOs 14.2), IPad (Pro 9.7inch, iOs 13.7) and Chrome’s Iphone/iPad screen simulator (no problem on Surface, Samsung,… simulators), the <canvas> appears empty, no video is showing. Here is a screenshot of the problem with the AR raccoon Jeeliz demo:

It looks like it’s a navigator object problem. I though of quick-fixing the bug by editing JeeelizFaceTransfer.js this way:

Before

var a=navigator.appVersion.match(/OS (\d+)_(\d+)_?(\d+)?/);

After

var a=navigator.appVersion.match(/OS X (\d+)_(\d+)_?(\d+)?/);

But it didn’t work out (showing a GoPro WebCam screen instead). Still investigating…

Hi @yannklein ,

It is great that it works now on Iphone + Safari (I fixed a major bug during the solving of issue #126 ). I regularly test the boilerplate on Iphone11 + latest IOS and Ipad pro + latest IOS in the beta channel. But there are often bad surprises with IOS updates.

I close this issue, feel free to re-open it if the problem occurs again.
