iOS WebView workaround not working

I see that for iOS I can take a video or photo using the camera as the live user media stream is not available in Chrome for iOS nor in the PWA one added to the home screen from Safari. This seems like a good workaround but I cannot get it to work with a static video or photo.

e.g. I tested on an apple juice bottle with a smartlabel QR code:

@mfulton26 Hi, Just wanted to let you know in IOS 13.4 verision, webkit webview (ADD to home screen) allows camera API. It works.
