ive dreamt of this for years!!! so excited.

quick question: i noticed that the camera isnt available on iOS 11 if you put a web-app capable page on to your homescreen. when you open the page in full screen, mediaDevices is undefined. is that just an iOS beta bug?

It’s not a bug. Spoke to an Apple engineer about this today at WWDC. There’s security concerns enabling media devices for webviews outside safari, but it should be coming ‘soon’.

Yeah... I’d file a bug anyway though, might help them prioritise it.

Sounds like a bug to me. You should file it at http://bugreport.apple.com.
