   A workaround would be to use the `cordova-plugin-camera` APIs, although with this route, you'd probably want to build your own custom button instead of using the browser's `<input>` tag.
   
   I believe this doesn't work because most of the input file attribute the native app actually needs to intercept and handle it explicitly. It's not "automatic" like the chrome browser. This could be a feature request, but there are some hurdles to jump through. Namely the requirement for apps to declare what features they use, including if they use the camera feature, which is something that the `cordova-plugin-camera` already does... and adding that into the core library is not really feasible imo.
