Hello David!

Do you have any experience with the new WKWebview and the camera cordova plugin not showing caputured images?
because since I use your new WKWebview I do get an Error when I want to display the taken, or from photolibrary, image with the camera.
Not allowed to load resource: file://path_to_the_file

Is there any config.xml prefernce setting I have to set or something else?

The problem is only on IOS

best regards

Hello Mario,

Yes; there is a couple of options. The first one can be to retrieve the photo using the destination type "DATA_URL", that is:


app.cordova.camera.config.quality = 50;
app.cordova.camera.config.encodingType = app.cordova.camera.encodingType.JPEG;
app.cordova.camera.config.destinationType = app.cordova.camera.destinationType.DATA_URL;
app.cordova.camera.config.correctOrientation = true;

app.cordova.camera.getPicture(
  function (base64) {
    views.view3.image1.url = "data:image/jpg;base64, " + base64;
  },
  function (error) {
    app.showAlert('An error occurs: ' + error);
  },
  app.cordova.camera.config
);

If we want to use destination type "FILE_URI", in other words, if what we get is a path starting by "file://", then we must use certain "magic method" exposed by Cordova iOS for this cases: window.WkWebView.convertFilePath, which as is referred here at the end of the article.


var 
  ourUriReadyToUseInImage = window.WkWebView.convertFilePath(ourObtainedFileUrl);

I am not sure... probably I add this "magic method" to the Cordova File plugin, to we can use it from certain method of this plugin in AB.
