html5-qrcode: [Safari] The library doesn't seem to remember the camera permission

It’s not supported on iOS. It’s a platform limitation will share more details on this thread soon.

I just ran into this issue myself. I was wondering if there’s any progress with remembering permissions on iOS; asking our users to give camera permissions every time the app is restarted is not very desirable.

it’s a IOS limitation, you have to allow your cam everytime when you close and start a browser, unless if you do what it said above like

• Remove my website from the home screen
• Went to my website using Safari
• Allowed the website to always have access to camera according to this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48847388/how-to-permanently-allow-usage-of-camera-on-trusted-websites-with-ios-safari/57368061#57368061
• Added a bookmark of my website to my home screen so that it becomes an “app” (lightweight PWA actually)
• Had to grant once access from within that bookmark but now every time I try to launch the QR reader, it looks like access is granted without further ask.

Hi @mebjas

I will check this issue.
