Bug description
I tried to couple a Browser with my Android app by scanning the QR code. This has worked in the past. Now I figured that when trying to scan the QR Code in my browser, the camera will not show any picture but the screen is plain black.
Providing the app with "access to camara during app usage" (highes privielge available) works fine.
Experienced behaviour:
If you restrict the app to camera usage "ask evey time" no dialog is displayed and the camera does not work in the dialog. Screen just stays black and you cannot take picture of the QR code. Just manual entry of the Code is possible.
Expected behaviour:
If you restrict the app to camera usage "ask evey time" a system dialog is displayed and, if granted access to the camera, the camera does work in the dialog as expected.
Solution
At the time of writing I need to grant highest access privileges to the camera for the app.
Additional context
As I am using a localized version of Android, my translation of the privileges in android might be inaccurate and may differ from the wording in stock Android in English language. Hope it is descriptive enough to describe the problem.
