Not opening Camera on reactnative-webview and no pop-up message for camera open.

See original GitHub issue

this url asks camera open using getusermedia() in webapp js, and I tried to open this url in react-native webview but not showing any pop-up message to open the camera on webview(expo app). Please help me on the same.

(I tried using snack.expo, but no luck so far).

Tried this two logic as well, but no success:

import React, { Component, useState, useEffect  } from 'react';
import { Text, View, StyleSheet, WebView } from 'react-native';
import { Constants } from 'expo';
import { TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native';
import { Camera } from 'expo-camera';
import * as Permissions from 'expo-permissions';

export default class App extends Component {
  // const [hasPermission, setHasPermission] = useState(null);

    async componentDidMount() {
    const { status } = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.CAMERA);
  
    this.setState({
      hasCameraPermission: status === 'granted',    
    });
  }
  
  render() {
    const url = ''https://turncameraon.com/';
    return (
      <WebView
        source={{
          uri: url,
        }}
        startInLoadingState
        scalesPageToFit
        javaScriptEnabled
        style={{ flex: 1 }}
      />
    );
  }
}

Another logic , I tried:


import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { Text, View, TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native';
import { Camera } from 'expo-camera';
import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview';

export default function App() {
  const [hasPermission, setHasPermission] = useState(null);
  const [type, setType] = useState(Camera.Constants.Type.back);
 const url = 'https://turncameraon.com/';
  useEffect(() => {
    (async () => {
      const { status } = await Camera.requestPermissionsAsync();
      setHasPermission(status === 'granted');
    })();
  }, []);

  if (hasPermission === null) {
    return <View />;
  }
  if (hasPermission === false) {
    return <Text>No access to camera</Text>;
  }
  return (
    <WebView
        source={{
          uri: url,
        }}
        
        startInLoadingState
        scalesPageToFit
        javaScriptEnabled
        style={{ flex: 1 }}
      />
  );
}
