I'm trying to use getUserMedia on iOS 14.4 with WKWebView within a Cordova app. I'm using the HelloWorld app from Cordova to reproduce this.

I provided the NSCameraUsageDescription string.

I'm using the sample code as provided on https://webkit.org/blog/11353/mediarecorder-api/ (but with audio set to false).

When I first launch the app and click the button to start the stream, the permission request comes up, which I confirm. Then this error occurs: "NotAllowedError: The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission"

Afterwards the permission request will not come again, only after I re-install the whole app.

Am I doing anything wrong? From what I understood, getUserMedia should be available in iOS 14.4 for apps based on WKWebView, right?

The issue is probably that the domain URL is not HTTP or HTTPS so access is always denied. This is fixed in bug 220184.

The only workaround for now is to have your content be loaded from a HTTP (localhost)/HTTPS URL.

Thanks for the feedback, Youenn.

I saw the bug you referenced, but I thought this was fix was shipped with iOS 14.4, no?
