source: CameraSource only supports Camera on PWA

[Indrajeetsing]

Yea right now it only supports clicking image from camera. Regardless of sourcetype . For work around I have created a popup and for capturing images i'm using capacitor and for choosing image i'm using normal input type file upload

@mlynch will ionic-team/capacitor#1856 solve this problem? if so, when will it merge into it?

I hope this will solve the problem and that it will be merge soon, for me it's more important on the web to have a file selector rather than a webcam.

In my case users take pictures outdoors with their smartphone so if they put pictures from a computer it will be from a file selector.

Hi @Bktechmasala,
The video you've posted has nothing to do with the source: CameraSource.Photos setting.

Thank you anyway.

[kensodemann]

A person that I am working with is also requesting. Any information regarding where this is on the backlog would be helpful so I can communicate that information back to them.

Hello all. Thanks @mlynch

I can see all the work for input selector on camera, but I have no idea how to integrate it into my project.

So far I use the HTML5 option.
Thanks
