I've run into this exact issue on iOS 18.4 (and just tested - still happens in 18.5 beta). The crash occurs when you try to get both camera + mic permissions at the same time using:

navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia( default) // ← This crashes!

Fix: You need to request them separately:


/**
 * Request camera permission only
 * @returns {Promise<MediaStream>} Video stream
 */
async function requestCameraPermission() {
  try {
    const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
      video: true,
      audio: false
    });
    
    console.log('Successfully obtained camera permission');
    return stream;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Camera permission request failed:', error);
    throw error;
  }
}

/**
 * Request microphone permission only
 * @returns {Promise<MediaStream>} Audio stream
 */
async function requestMicrophonePermission() {
  try {
    const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
      audio: true,
      video: false
    });
    
    console.log('Successfully obtained microphone permission');
    return stream;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Microphone permission request failed:', error);
    throw error;
  }
}

// Usage example:
// requestCameraPermission()
//   .then(videoStream => {
//     const videoElement = document.createElement('video');
//     videoElement.srcObject = videoStream;
//     document.body.appendChild(videoElement);
//     videoElement.play();
//     return requestMicrophonePermission();
//   })
//   .then(audioStream => {
//     console.log('Microphone ready');
//   })
//   .catch(error => {
//     console.error('Permission request failed:', error);
//   });

A workaround that I have found in the webkit forums posted by @ajaymati1000

Prewarming the capture device(here the camera) helps fix the crash.

Get all the necessary permissions and then write down this anywhere before you enter into the web camera flow.

let _ = AVCaptureDevice.default(.builtInWideAngleCamera, for: .video, position: .front)

let _ = AVCaptureDevice.default(.builtInWideAngleCamera, for: .video, position: .front)

This fix doesn't work all the time. We are still seeing some instances of the crash. The percentage is very low but this is not a proper fix.
