Hello,

we are developing a mobile application using Maximo Application Framework (MAF) and we need to force the default camera to be the rear-facing (back) camera when opening the barcode scanner.

Currently, the scanner defaults to the front-facing (selfie) camera, even though our devices have multiple rear-facing cameras available (e.g., camera2 0, camera2 2, etc.).

We have attempted to override navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia in AppCustomizations.js, but this has no effect on the camera selection in the mobile app.

Can you confirm whether it is possible to set the default camera (e.g., via deviceId or facing) in the barcode-scanner component?

If yes, what would be the correct approach to pass this configuration in MAF? Ideally, we are looking for a way to prioritize facing="environment" or target a specific camera device ID.

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards
