Hi there!  
I wonder to know if the PWA could take control of the sensor or the camera of the mobile phones. Actually I am using cordova plugins for that (in the apps I published in AppStore and GooglePlay)

Thanks in advance.  
Federico

In a PWA you won’t have access to Cordova, so no Cordova plugins.  
If there are ways to access the camera in plain HTML/JS, you can also use that in a Ionic PWA.
