Hello, I am new to OutSystems. Is it possible to have a camera function in a Progressive Web App? If so, how do I use it? If not, do I have to create it as a native app?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Yes, it is possible to use the camera function in a Progressive Web App (PWA). PWAs can access certain device features, including the camera. This allows you to implement camera functionality without needing to develop a native app.
Steps to Use the Camera in a PWA in OutSystems:
Use the Camera Plugin:
Camera Plugin is Systems App so it may be already installed in your env.
You can find set show supported app checkbox on in Preference menu.
If you can not find you can download from below forge address.(you can check asset demo app to see how to use it)

In addition to above, you can compare in between PWA, Web App and Native App features from below.
When to Choose Native Apps:
Hope this will help you.
