Expo Camera Issue – Record Video Demo

This repository demonstrates automatic video recording with expo-camera.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 16 (.nvmrc provided)
• Expo CLI (npm install -g expo-cli)
• Xcode / Android Studio if you intend to run on iOS or Android emulators/devices

Installation

# clone repo then
npm install

Running the App

# iOS simulator
npm run ios

# Android emulator/device
npm run android

# Web (uses your browser camera)
npm run web

What Happens

1. On mount we request camera permissions.
2. When the camera becomes ready the app automatically starts recording using recordAsync().
3. After 3 seconds it stops and logs the resulting video object in the dev console.

Feel free to adjust recording duration or add UI controls in App.tsx.

Troubleshooting

• Permissions denied – make sure the simulator/device/browser has camera access.
• Camera not available on web – some browsers block insecure origins; use HTTPS or expo-preview.
