Flashlight API

Control the device flashlight from your web app with simple JavaScript links in WebViewGold for iOS.

The Flashlight API of WebViewGold allows your website to control the device's flashlight (torch). This feature can be useful for:

Building utility apps that require the flashlight toggle
Upgrading user experience during app usage with gamification
Providing additional accessibility features

How to Use:

You can trigger the flashlight on or off directly from your HTML content using the following links:

<a href="enableflashlight://">Turn On Flashlight</a>
<a href="disableflashlight://">Turn Off Flashlight</a>

Note: Make sure your app has the required camera permissions in Info.plist, as the flashlight functionality is tied to the device's camera hardware.
