  It should work - the Cordova app itself is loading the game in a webview. I'd check that InAppBrowser is using WKWebView and not the legacy UIWebView, which might cause some problems due to its age.

  When features are deprecated it means they are on track for removal. So you should stop using deprecated features as soon as possible and not use them for any new purposes.

  Construct doesn't ever generate a message like that itself, so it must be coming from somewhere else. Maybe it comes from the website or a third-party addon.

  Actually I think this can be done better if we add a "facing mode" parameter to the "request camera" action. It should be straightforward and avoids having to deal with the quirks of the source list. I'll see if I can get that in for the next beta cycle.

  Yeah, you can find a "back" camera source by searching the source list, as I suggested. The camera input demo shows you how to access the list.

  The actual descriptions of the camera sources are only available after you've already approved permission though. Since remote preview runs on preview.construct.net, if you've ever approved camera on preview.construct.net, you'll be able to access the descriptions. However if you publish to your own website (e.g. example.com), the first time you visit that the descriptions will be anonymised for security reasons.

  Because it only works with specific versions of NW.js and the Steam SDK. If it was built-in to Construct it would lock you to those specific versions until we did an update to Construct, which would then lock you to new versions. Having it as a separate addon gives you the freedom to match to whichever NW.js/Steam SDK version you want.

  That demo is still the right way to go. Just instead of having a dropdown list of sources, you can automatically look through the list and find a source with the name "back" in it somewhere, when the user clicks "get camera". Although note that for security reasons you can't access the names of the camera devices until the user has approved camera input previously on that site... so you can only do the automatic picking on subsequent visits. I think given that restriction, it probably is easiest just to show the user a dropdown...

  It's still not clear why you need this or what you are trying to do.

  Are you sure this is the right approach? It sounds like it might be better to paste an image to Drawing Canvas and then save that instead. That gives you more control over the image size without tieing it to the viewport size.

  Maybe you just want to enable unbounded scrolling on the layout?

  The normal preview option should already work while offline.

  That doesn't answer why you need to do this? The snapshot feature is for taking screenshots, which means taking a copy of what the user can see, which is the canvas as displayed on the screen.

  I'm not sure what you mean. Objects aren't allowed to draw outside their bounds. That normally doesn't involve cropping, it just means only drawing inside their bounds.
