Camera on iOS only available if webview is recreated

See original GitHub issue

Bug description:

With allowsInlineMediaPlayback enabled and mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction disabled (this one was a problem on Android), after we ask for camera access on iOS, the camera simply does not load.

After we restart the app, the user is prompted with the webview’s request to access the camera (not the SO one, but the one the browser does). And it works.

To Reproduce:

Render the webview.
Send a postMessage to ask native code to request camera permission.
Grant permission.
Webview’s getMediaDevices() fail.

Expected behavior: Webview should be able to get media devices.

Environment:

OS: IOS
OS version: 14.6
react-native version: 0.63.4
react-native-webview version: ^11.2.4
