--- Comment #72 from Sam Gabriel <sgabriel at brainfuse.com> ---
@Apple First great job on adding the getUserMedia API to the wkwebview. However as many other posters have mentioned, we are unable to use the API due to the requirement that the page is loaded with https and with no ability to override this requirement. When working with ionic or cordova apps that is not an option.

I understand security is at the center of Apple philosophy. However as a developer, we are left with no choice but to use other libraries that are not updated as often as Apple would update the OS. Many of these older versions of those libraries might contain gaping security issues that will not be updated in time, leaving the user more vulnerable. 

Using a cordova or other web frameworks should be no different that using a native app. And as a matter of fact the mere fix to apple's implementation is to package and ship libwebrtc with the app and use some URL handling to get around that one issue. Ultimately building a less performant, less tested and less secure applications. 

Thank you
