Camera switching does not work on Samsung

We have a project with camera switching, but I’m on two devices getting errors when switching:

I also tried running your example with camera switching: https://www.8thwall.com/playground/swap-dof
A similar error occurs there.
The devices on which I found the bug:

  1. Samsung Galaxy M51 / Android 12 / One UI 4.1
  2. Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G / Android 14 / One UI 6.1

Everything works on other iPhone 13 and Xiaomi Readmi Note 12 Pro devices as it should.

Bumping this topic, I have the same issue (on Samsung S21 and S23, Chrome).

Looking into this now, thank you for reporting it!

Any update on this? It’s still broken. Samsung S24 Ultra.

5

We are facing similar issues any update on this ?

Hello,

I’ve been able to reproduce this on a Samsung Galaxy S24 using Google Chrome and our Swap Camera Settings sample project. Unfortunately there is no workaround I’m aware of, however I’ve filed this with our engineering team.

Hello @GeorgeButler, any news around this topic? Any progress from the engineering team?
Samsung phones are critical for an experience we are working on.

Hi,

We’re still looking into this, I’ve bumped it to make sure the engineering team will prioritize it.

Thank you all for your reports, I know this issue has likely been frustrating for you all and we really appreciate your patience. The issue appears to be limited to certain devices and was introduced with engine version 25.0.1.2384.

This issue will be resolved in a future engine release, but for the time being, we can freeze the engine to the latest working version for specific apps. Please send me a DM with your project URL if you’d like to do this.

I will follow up in this thread with updates as they come. Thank you again!
