--- Comment #63 from keg at kindeyegames.com ---
Working with Cordova and the Construct 3 HTML5 game framework on IOS, it looks like there has been improvement, but as geckse mentions, there is still an issue with a Cordova app getting access to getUserMedia, perhaps due to not using https for the corodova app?

It looks like this may be a security issue based on this link:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/getUserMedia

"Note: If the current document isn't loaded securely, navigator.mediaDevices will be undefined, and you cannot use getUserMedia(). See Security for more information on this and other security issues related to using getUserMedia()."

After adding NSCameraUsageDescription key and an appropriate string to the project info.plist, calling navigator["mediaDevices"]["getUserMedia"] is now available (previously before ios14 and adding the key it is undefined.)

However, after the camera permission pop up appears and is agreed to, access fails with this in debug from Xcode:

"2020-11-25 12:21:38.293062-0800 Camera fx[1629:786395] WARN: Error requesting camera:  NotAllowedError: The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission."

(I did not deny permission and checking under Privacy Settings for camera, the test app is marked as allowing camera permissions.)

I have looked at ways to have Cordova serve locally via https, but I have not yet found a solution (geckse details an interesting work around in the above git repo, which serves the entire app from an external https server).
