Describe the steps to reproduce it.
I have created a nativescript app using the tabview template, when launching the camera, it does not take the full screen, part of it is being blocked by the tabview

[tsonevn]

Hi @BMwanza,
Can you send us a sample project, which can be used for reproducing the problem?

[BMwanza]

Sure, here is a .zip of a sample project I just whipped up. Again I'm using the NativeScript tabview template and simply calling the Camera.takePicture() function within a page as the demo app I've attached shows.

Again, the bug seems to appear on physical iOS devices, it works well on Android both physical and real devices. Regarding iOS simulators, it is not possible to tell if the bug occurs given that the iOS simulators just launch the photos app when this function is called and not a real camera.

Hi @BMwanza,
Can you attach the project to the issue?

[BMwanza]

Sorry I thought it attatched, looks like the file is too big to be attatched to the issue, I'm going to make a git repo that you can just clone will that work?

[BMwanza]

@tsonevn Sorry for all the confusion, I also accidently closed this disucssion, but here is the project you can just clone it to run it

Hey @tsonevn how's this going, any progress? Please let me know if there is any other information I could provide to help assist with resolving this bug.

[tsonevn]

Hi @BMwanza,
The issue is still under review. We will provide the more info when we find how the problem can be solved. Also, any PR, which provides a fix, will be highly appreciated

[BMwanza]

Hi @tsonevn,

Any update on this? :)

Or is there a way to work around the bug like setting the tabview's visibility to hidden/collpased? It's just a pressing issue because our Development team is looking to submit our app as soon as possible

[tsonevn]

Hi @BMwanza,
The fix is already available in the master branch. We will publish a new version of the plugin soon.

[BMwanza]

Awesome!! Thanks so much @tsonevn and @lini on behalf of my entire dev team we really appreciate it!

[tsonevn]

HI all,
The new plugin version available in npm.
