Description

When I open a website like mictests.com using the WebView, it doesn't prompt for permissions on Linux. Do I need to call any additional functions?

I have installed webkit2gtk-4.1, but the issue persists.

  • Flutter Version: 3.27.0
  • OS: Linux (Ubuntu 24.04 / GNOME)

Also getting these warnings/errors in the console:

[1:58:43.617412307] [34304]  WARN IPAManager ipa_manager.cpp:154 No IPA found in '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcamera'
[1:58:43.617449161] [34304]  INFO Camera camera_manager.cpp:284 libcamera v0.2.0

** (WebKitWebProcess:34304): WARNING **: 10:03:35.468: The GStreamer FDK AAC plugin is missing, AAC playback is unlikely to work.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the missing permission prompt with Flutter 3.27.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 using WebKitGTK 4.1, then trace the Linux WebView permission-request path. Treat the libcamera and GStreamer messages as separate warnings; done means the responsible behavior is identified and verified or clearly documented.
