Tried PICaboo on Acer Chromebook and downloaded Companion from PlayStore (maybe that's the problem?).
App Inventor connects OK to Companion and U/I seems correct, the Camera connects correctly to read-facing but then when trying to toggle camera to front facing, it crashes the Companion.
Thanks for the report Jeff. I'm surprised this causes the app to crash. I would have expected the more likely failure state to be that it doesn't load the camera at all. Does the chromebook in question have both a front and rear facing camera?
On the Acer Chromebook there is a screen camera and a camera above the function keys on the keyboard, ostensibly because the screen folds all the way over. Strangely enough, the PICaboo app is working fine now using the Chromebook connection to the Companion app. It's even identifying my face correctly. It took a number of resets and restarts to get here though. Not sure what happened. Thanks!
