Hello everyone Please help me! For almost three months now, I have been periodically returning to make of my app, and more and more often in my office a word sounds similar both in meaning and very similar in sound to the English "peace death" (in this case, it can be translated as "insurmountable failure). The point is that I need my colleagues to take and send photos in real time without being able to send previously captured photos. With the help of "MIT AI", I have already made such an Android application... but with the Iphone app.... "pease death"...
I tried to use this example, https://puravidaapps.com/dropbox.php
but nothing worked on the iPhone. I wrote about it here. https://community.appinventor.mit.edu/t/unable-to-upload-files-to-dropbox/137181
Then I decided to go the other way: I wanted to use these blocks to solve the problem using javascript...
I spent some time learning this language... and I realized that javascript doesn't have the ability to access user data without user permission. After going through a bunch of options and spending a lot of time, I decided to approach this problem from the other side: launch the smartphone camera via javascript, get an image from the camera, immediately convert it to base64 and export the result to MIT AI... I found a suitable example on the Internet, for example this one:
https://doug2k1.github.io/javascript-camera/
...tried it in a browser on a PC, everything works great... I have embedded the URL of the website with the example in the field of the MIT AI web viewer...
and "peace death". The camera application opens to full screen, blocking the entire interface of the web viewer, and the entire application, hiding all the controls behind it.
This is what it looks like if you swipe the camera interface sideways a bit:
There is just a static image in the viewport.
this is what it looks like if you close the camera interface:
Try it yourself if you want. But there is only a web browsing block with an inserted URL. (I mentioned this URL earlier)
WEBTRY.aia (2.3 KB)
I tried various examples from the internet and based on them, I created my own local landing pages in HTML format... The result is the same: everything works in the desktop browser, but in the MIT AI web viewer it works as I have already described (the situation is no better in mobile browsers).
Sorry for such a huge opus, and for my English too (I use google translate)... but I am immensely tired of fighting this problem... Maybe someone managed to send files from an iPhone to another device or to any cloud storage using an application created by MIT AI? Maybe one of the developers will see my pain and despair and tell me a way out of my situation or fix some of the features of their really great service.
