It is possible to use the Camera from within a WebView on iOS, just Use 

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>${PRODUCT_NAME} PhotoLibrary Usage</string>

steps are given below in images:

Open info.plist with Source Code

Looks like it is possible to use getUserMedia from within a WebView on Android, but not iOS - can-i-use-navigator-mediadevices-getusermedia-in-android-ios-webview

Check this out for a way to do it in iOS (but it looks like it will require a custom iOS module) - access-camera-from-uiwebview
