Are you sure you have already searched for the same problem?

Some people open new issues but they didn't search for something similar or for the same issue. Please, search for it using the GitHub issue search box or on the official inappwebview.dev website, or, also, using Google, StackOverflow, etc. before posting a new one. You may already find an answer to your problem!

If this is really a new issue, then thank you for raising it. I will investigate it and get back to you as soon as possible. Please, make sure you have given me as much context as possible! Also, if you didn't already, post a code example that can replicate this issue.

In the meantime, you can already search for some possible solutions online! Because this plugin uses native WebView, you can search online for the same issue adding android WebView [MY ERROR HERE] or ios WKWebView [MY ERROR HERE] keywords.

Following these steps can save you, me, and other people a lot of time, thanks!

Yes, I already checked the same issue. In internet most of it solved by adding Android Photo, Camera, Storage permission. I have done that and I already opened the camera, just that photo from camera is not uploaded.

Same issue with me. Uploading via file picker is working but I need to upload a photo using camera, but I can't capture the photo.
Or maybe another work around how to hide the choosing a photo from camera?

I am also facing the same issue with Android 13 & 14 devices, the camera launched, and after taking the photo and clicked on "Use Photo", nothing is being uploaded to the photo uploader plugin.

However, the camera photo upload works fine on iPadOS 17.

I am using flutter_inappwebview: ^6.1.5 version.

Hey everyone! My camera photo is able to upload the image to the uploader input now. Below are the setups that need to done.

1. Make sure to request for camera permission in your main() method.

import 'package:permission_handler/permission_handler.dart';

Future main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await Permission.camera.request();
  await Permission.microphone.request(); // if you need microphone permission

  runApp(MyApp());
}

2. Make sure to have the below permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIDEO_CAPTURE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.AUDIO_CAPTURE" />

3. Make sure to also add the below block in your AndroidManifest.xml

<provider
    android:name="com.pichillilorenzo.flutter_inappwebview_android.InAppWebViewFileProvider"
    android:authorities="${applicationId}.flutter_inappwebview_android.fileprovider"
    android:exported="false"
    android:grantUriPermissions="true">
    <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
        android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" />
</provider>

This is officially documented in the documentation.
