							 | 
						|
								  detailed technical implementation when working with camera features.
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								## Platform-Specific Considerations
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								### iOS
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								- Requires `NSCameraUsageDescription` in Info.plist
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								- Supports both front and back cameras
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								- Implements proper permission handling
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								### Android
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								- Requires camera permissions in manifest
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								- Supports both front and back cameras
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								- Handles permission requests through Capacitor
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								### Web
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								- Requires HTTPS for camera access
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								- Implements fallback mechanisms
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								- Handles browser compatibility issues
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								## Error Handling
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								### Common Error Scenarios
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								1. No camera found
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								2. Permission denied
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								3. Camera in use by another application
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								4. HTTPS required
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								5. Browser compatibility issues
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								### Error Response
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								- User-friendly error messages
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								- Troubleshooting tips
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								- Clear instructions for resolution
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								- Platform-specific guidance
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								## Security Considerations
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
