Some plugins use
[self.webView superview]
(cordova-plugin-camera), orself.webView.superview
(cordova-plugin-camera-preview), and probably others.In Capacitor the webView is the top most view, so there is no superview and makes the plugins to not work or crash.
By replacing those usages to
self.viewController.view
, cordova-plugin-camera is able to present popovers, and cordova-plugin-camera-preview is able to show the camera preview (only over the html, not behind it as in cordova, but it's better than crashing).closes #3176
