Description

Hi,
In my project, I am using cordova-plugin-inappbrowser (1.4) from npm packages.

I get different results for different OS/platform's.

I use java code to access inbuilt camera/photo libraries/upload function from my own site. Use the URLwithing the application.

Type Platform Result
1) _blank iOS 8.3 Can't access camera, but can get to libraries of pictures from the device
2) _blank iOS 9.3 All works fine: Can access camera, library of pictures from the device
3) _self iOS 8.3, 9.3, android Nothing works (Network access & Intent: tried *) not sure whether to try https://* or http://* etc.??

4) _blank android tried lots of 4.X Nothing works
If iOS 8.3 can't access camera within inappBrowser of 1.4, might be an issue at iOS end, but none of the Android (tested 4.4, 4.3, etc..) is NOT working.

Can we get inAppBrowser access to camera, library function & file upload functions similar to iOS please?

Thanks in advance
