Description
As mentioned in the title, I encountered an issue with CapacitorBarcodeScannerCameraDirection.BACK on Web.
Even when explicitly setting it to use the back camera, it still defaulted to the front camera.
I implemented a quick fix inspired by a capacitor-community PR, which successfully resolved the issue in my case.
I’ve already opened a PR for this and I’m waiting for it to be reviewed. I’m open to making any necessary changes to ensure it gets merged as soon as possible.
