Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

IOU - Unable to capture receipt photo, the camera error displayed

What is the root cause of that problem?

App/src/pages/iou/request/step/IOURequestStepScan/index.native.js

Line 210 in eebd7ee

cameraTabIndex={pageIndex}

Here, passing wrong cameraTabIndex as pageIndex is no longer used and undefined

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

pass cameraTabIndex={1} similar to web:

App/src/pages/iou/request/step/IOURequestStepScan/index.js

Line 212 in eebd7ee

cameraTabIndex={1}

@mkhutornyi do you know what PR caused this regression? Looks like this part of the code didn't change recently.

[mkhutornyi]

The offending PR is huge and these kinds of minor regressions were expected

Ah ok got it, thanks. Still trying to confirm your solution but I'm getting an (unrelated) error trying to build android at the moment, looking into it.

@mkhutornyi solution works here is demo 👇

not sure if the rounded border styles and padding from the edge is removed intentionally or by mistake

@francoisl this also happens on iOS as well. If you have iPhone, you can also test with it

[francoisl]

Ah ok great. Let's go with your solution then @mkhutornyi!
