Not working on iOS 11

See original GitHub issue

When try to record on iOS 11, I get the following error log:

[Error] Missing analyticsSettings in Meteor.settings.public

Also the video always opens in fullscreen, so the user can’t press on stop.

@john-landgrave iOS 11+ supports getUserMedia, MediaStream, and related APIs needed for WebRTC.

However, for local recording, there’s a separate class called MediaRecorder. It’s been available in Safari since Jan 2019 in preview but, as of today, it is still “Experimental” and users need to turn it on in Safari settings. It applies to both desktop Safari on Mac and mobile Safari on iOS.

Bottom line, unless you can tell your users to go change their browser settings, recording a video is not natively supported by Safari. RecordRTC has an alternative recorder called WhammyRecorder which circumvents the native APIs by hacking the stream through a canvas, but unfortunately, it doesn’t currently work on Safari (mobile or desktop) as mentioned in the beginning of this issue and in https://github.com/muaz-khan/RecordRTC/issues/380
