Current Behavior

Ionic 4 + Angular 9 + Capacitor.

I implemented the Capacitor Camera API function getPhoto() like this:

This works perfect in android and chrome (using ionic serve).

But in iOS, when i run my app in an xcode simuator, the following happens:

For the camera option (CameraSource.Camera), the app in the device crashes and throws the following error in the xcode terminal:

Expected Behavior

The camera opens when the (CameraSource.Photos), option is selected. (meaning it doesn't crash)

Code Reproduction

https://github.com/marcelo-ansaldi-baltazar/issueCapacitatorCameraApi

I followed these steps:

-Tap on “Cotizar examen”
-Tap on “Adjuntar”
-Accept camera request
-App crashes

Additional Context

Forgot to mention that the Capacitor documentation includes this:

But i think i have the right thing by default (meaning didn't change anything myself)

Why was this closed?

[jfbloom22]

I believe I am running into the same issue.

[brumscotto]

Having the same issue here. Anyone find a fix?

[tomchiverton]

I think I have this issue. @marcelo-ansaldi-baltazar how did you fix this ?

[jcesarmobile]

this was fixed here #5282
released the fix in capacitor 3.3.3

[tomchiverton]

In my case, it seemed to have been missing one of the three entries in the .plist that triggered the error
