If you are using expo, first install:

expo install expo-camera

Then, in your WebView:

import { Camera } from "expo-camera";

export default function MyWebView({ route }) {
  Camera.requestCameraPermissionsAsync();
  ... your webViewCode ... 
}

source: https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/camera/#camerarequestcamerapermissionsasync

You have to use PermissionsAndroid of React-native to ask for permissions

Following is the code for asking permissions :

async checkPermissions() {    
 await PermissionsAndroid.requestMultiple([
  PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.CAMERA,
 ]).then(result => {
  console.log('checkPermissions result', result);        
 });
}

Provide whatever permissions you require in the array and check for their status in result.
