Limitations with camera and geolocation functionalities

Question

I am trying to build a plugin in banno plugin toolkit, in which our implementation requires the camera and geolocation access within the plugin, and issue is both are restricted within plugin.

Is there any work around where i can use camera and geolocation.

Tried to access camera , but didn't worked as it is restricted.

As you've noted in your question, access to Native APIs / operating system APIs is restricted per https://jackhenry.dev/open-api-docs/plugins/architecture/restrictions/

The Plugin Framework does not support accessing native APIs or operating system APIs.

So the following are not supported in plugins:

• Geolocation
• Camera access
• Microphone
• Address book / contacts
• Apple Wallet / Google Wallet
• Apple Pay / Google Pay

A different section on that page, "Opening new windows", might offer a different option but it wouldn't be exactly what you're asking about:

An alternative use case is to open an embedded web browser link via the Plugin Bridge
