Capacitor3 sample basic app still uses Capacitor.Plugins

[wgehner]

The Capacitor3 sample basic app appears to still use Capacitor.Plugins.

Will there be a V3 sample app that uses import for plugins?

It shouldn't be too hard when embedding it in a

<script type='module'> Related question: can I specify that the permissions prompt (only for used plugins) comes during first app start even when using Capacitor.Plugins? If so, how?

Hello 👋

Which sample basic app are you referring to? We have a test app here that is updated to v3 core with the plugins

For permissions: on both iOS and Android, the permission isn't prompted until your code uses said permission. So the first time a user uses the Camera, it will show the permission but in the future it would not.

If you want to prompt for a specific permission before anything happens (which personally I wouldn't, bad UX) you add an empty permission request in your native code in AppDelegate.swift for iOS and in MainActivity.java for Android. Something like this should be get you started, but again I wouldn't recommend doing it this way.

// Example swift code for camera permission
switch AVCaptureDevice.authorizationStatus(for: .video) {
    case .authorized: // The user has previously granted access to the camera.
        self.setupCaptureSession()
    
    case .notDetermined: // The user has not yet been asked for camera access.
        AVCaptureDevice.requestAccess(for: .video) { granted in
            if granted {
                self.setupCaptureSession()
            }
        }
    
    case .denied: // The user has previously denied access.
        return

    case .restricted: // The user can't grant access due to restrictions.
        return
}

Android example

if (Context.checkSelfPermission(this.getApplicationContext(), Manifest.permission.CAMERA) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    // Permission is already accepted
} else if (shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(...)) {
    // Show prompt to user saying why you need said permission 
    showInContextUI(...);
} else {
    // Ask for permission
    requestPermissionLauncher.launch(Manifest.permission.CAMERA);
}

Thomas, Thanks for the link to the test app, I will check it out. I was talking about the app in v3 docs that gets installed when I do npm init @capacitor/app.
