Chrome not supporting getUserMedia() from inside WKWebView

When camera access prompted and the user gives permissions to allow the camera, camera video should load in the video tag. It's working fine in all other browsers except chrome. We posted the same issue in chromium forum and got to know that this is the problem with iOS and not with the chrome. Here is the Chromium forum link: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=967423#c10


Please look into this and let us know if there is a solution.


Thanks and Regards

Dear Team,


Please help us with a solution for this problem. If this is not the right forum, whom should we be contacting regarding this issue. If this is an ongoing problem, what is the workaround that you suggest to overcome this problem?


We are having difficulties meeting deadlines on our project which requires access to camera on iPhone/iPad on Google Chrome.


Any help is appreciated.


Look forward...

Dear Team,

Again... you are not speaking to the team here. We are a community of volunteers. Nobody here can help you, regardless of how many times you ask.


If this is not the right forum, whom should we be contacting regarding this issue.

Google would be my guess. It is their task to make their apps work with iOS, not the other way around.


I also provided the only link for providing feedback to Apple.


on our project which requires access to camera on iPhone/iPad on Google Chrome.

I would suggest your project was not well planned if it has this dependency.

@LACAllen, Team here refers to more than 1 person, may be volunteers.

If you notice the thread it says a limitation from iOS which is not allowing access to Google Chrome. So, something that Apple should address.

Regarding the project being not well planned, do you suggest any other way the camera functionality be implemented in WebApp without browser asking control of the device camera and still function?
