Ionic camera doen´t work in production release

mikemikemike · August 27, 2019, 5:18pm

Hello!

I have an ionic app with integrated Camera and ImagePicker plugins.
Everything goes without troubles in a debug mode, but when I am uploading to the GooglePlay, the app doesnt ask for any permission before instalation, and then I just couldnt open the components that are in charge of those plugins.

Try this.
Installed the Plugin as mentioned in this ionic doc

then in my app.component.ts file

import { AndroidPermissions } from '@ionic-native/android-permissions';

constructor(platform: Platform, androidPermissions: AndroidPermissions) {
    platform.ready().then(() => {

         androidPermissions.requestPermissions(
           [
             androidPermissions.PERMISSION.CAMERA, 
             androidPermissions.PERMISSION.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, 
             androidPermissions.PERMISSION.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
           ]
         );

    }) 
}

I hope this will help someone. Thanks.
This found for me.
Good luck.

Hello my friend…

You need add in your AndroidManifest.xml in permissions, the line:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

If your app need access the library or galery add the line:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

I hope this helps you!

Very good, but if you do that directly in the manifest, you will have to be doing it every time you generate a new version, and if you do it with the permission plugin it will be automatic.

Thanks a lot for your replies!

I tried this plugin, you have to use this path instead
import { AndroidPermissions } from ‘@ionic-native/android-permissions/ngx’;

You can also add entries in your config.xml file for each of the appropriate manifest entries. Each time the platform is added or deleted, the entries will be added to the manifest.
