Platforms Affected

• iOS
• Android
• Web

Current Behavior

Requesting Camera.requestPermissions({ permissions: ['camera'] }) resolve in error CapacitorException: Not implemented on web. while the photos does work.

Expected Behavior

Actually, the logic should be changed, as, on the web, opening the screenShot app should be similar to the camera, and no the photos, which is for the media library.

photos could open the upload folder though, which would be a nice addition

Project Reproduction

I'll do if needed, but don't think this is required

Additional Information

I'm open to do a PR

EDIT: My previous comment was incorrect, I had not tested properly, so if you read it before, disregard my conclusions.

Hey @rbalet, thanks for opening this, I'm transferring this issue to capacitor-plugins repo, since it's related to Camera Plugin.

I have not been able to reproduce your current behavior, Camera.requestPermissions({ permissions: ['camera'] }) and Camera.requestPermissions({ permissions: ['photos'] }), both reject the promise with Not implemented on web. error. Perhaps a project reproduction would be helpful, if you can share?

As for what you say on Expected Behavior:

Actually, the logic should be changed, as, on the web, opening the screenShot app should be similar to the camera, and no the photos, which is for the media library.

photos could open the upload folder though, which would be a nice addition

I don't understand what you mean, can you elaborate please?
