I dove into "how upload many photos from camera in #TurboNative land" again today.

I called in my Competent #JavaScript, #Kotlin, and #Swift colleague, A (not on the Fediverse, AFAIK).

She recommended we confirm we have permissions to use the camera and stepped me through requesting permissions for #Android in a #TurboAndroid app, mostly by talking me through this #TurboAndroid github issue https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-android/issues/336

After about an hour, we were able to prompt for permissions and confirm that they were granted!

But sadly, still no joy.

We dug into the Uppy source code; which led to this little line here: https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/blob/bdc485d52753ec0bac29cfdd25c1bd824060ba20/packages/%40uppy/dashboard/src/components/AddFiles.tsx#L81

Because we don't *explicitly set the facing mode*, Uppy wasn't setting the `capture` attribute on the Input!

So after adding `{ videoConstraints: { facingMode: 'environment' } ` to the Uppy AWS plugin, we can capture photos on #Web, #TurboIOS and #TurboNative without any changes to the Swift/Kotlin code.

😭 😭 😭

But at least the fix is a 4 line solution now.

Today’s adventure started hopeful. I managed to get the #Uppy Webcam plugin mostly working across Web, Android, and iOS; and then my #LocalStack S3 bucket dumped its CORS configuration so my #Tailscale funnel that I use to expose my local #Rails server to the #TurboNative apps got rejected.

But before I reapplied the CORS config I tried to update the `is-mobile` package for some reason and now even after reverting and nuking `node_modules` Uppy Webcam doesn’t want to use the Android native webcam anymore and I have no idea why

😭😭😭

I’ve been working on a feature for a #TurboNative app.

We want to allow folks to take multiple photos and upload them all together.

folks must be able to *capture* photos directly through the app, with no photos aren’t stored to their device camera roll (for Very Good Reasons)

We’re using the #Uppy dashboard to provide the core experience, which works pretty well; but the out of the box flow for taking a photo is three or so taps *per photo* on iOS, and doesn’t allow access to the camera on Android.

So tomorrow I am going to try and wrangle the Uppy Webcam plugin to see if it will let me take 3~8 photos in a row and upload them all at the end of the session.

If that doesn’t work, I may have to figure out how to pass messages between the web app and the IOS and android apps for native photo capturing and inject thise into Uppy…

😭😭😭

This feels complicated! `input type=“file” capture multiple` should be sufficient

😭😭😭

Is there some Turbo Native + Flutter integration somewhere? A Google search is useless since "turbo flutter" is also a thing 🧐

Strada officially launched! | Masilotti.com https://masilotti.com/strada-launch/

How Strada with #turboNative renders both HTML and iOS native buttons.

I've been meaning to look into Hotwire and Turbolinks years ago but never had a cool web project to even start with this. Naturally I didn't understand the docs either. So Joe's overview is very useful!

The video of my talk about Turbo Native at @lrug a couple of weeks ago is now up!

Sadly it didn't make the cut for RailsConf, but hoping to take it to a few other conferences this year.

WOW... Just closed a Vivaldi browser window that was minimized for about 1 year... full of links to React Native...
I am actually excited to restart that R&D project, but this time with Turbo Native #rails #TurboNative
