@jcesarmobile Is this a quirk just because it's only implemented on iOS,
Android, and WP?
@infil00p Actually, it is consistent on Android, and has nothing to do with
whether the device has a library icon on their Camera activity (I'm not sure
that any do?). We're simply showing an Intent Chooser that lets the user choose
which Activity they want to launch, and the list includes all of the camera and
file activities found on their device. That is consistent across all Android
devices. And it's using the exact same intents that would be used if you chose
to show the camera or library. Give it a try and see the behavior for yourself.
I still think this feature is valuable and provides a better user
experience in certain circumstances. We've had success using this in our app,
and being a good citizen I've tried to make it available for others to take
advantage of. There are some native limitations here, but if you truly wanted a
consistent camera experience and UI across all platforms, you'd basically have
to write to the raw camera APIs on each platform which is a significant
departure from the current approach of this plugin.
