Can't access camera using input with capture attribute on android 14+

I can’t access camera using input with capture attribute on Android 14+.
It show file picker, but not a camera.

Please add camera permission request on Android.

My plugin: GitHub - slavkomelnyk/camera-embed: Capture, compress, and embed photos directly into Obsidian notes. · GitHub

Android: Add a camera tool in the toolbar to quickly add images using the phone camera

Platform iOS Android Obsidian Mobile version: v1.0.5 Add a toolbar option which would launch the camera in one click, and allow capturing the image with another click of the shutter button, which would directly add a link to the image in the currently open file and directly add the image file to the (set by default) attachment folder. This would allow taking a photo and adding it into notes directly with just 2 taps. This would go a long way in aiding quick capture of events into notes. …

(The feature exists on iOS as a feature of the “add attachment” button because it uses the iOS native UI.)

This seems unrelated to the existing feature request.

The issue may be related to Android 14+ privacy changes. Using <input type="file" capture> only opens the file picker, without a camera option.

Maybe this could be fixed if Obsidian had a native camera API, or at least a plugin API for requesting camera permissions.

The camera tool will be added in 1.14.2. I have the feeling your plugin will start working too.
