Yes, that’s precisely how it’s currently implemented. The point is that it doesn’t have to be this way. And the key is indeed to drop the SYSTEM_CAMERA permission requirement, i.e., make the wide lens camera a regular camera instead of a system camera. Which Fairphone can do.
Also I have a new update from the support team. I hope it will be done soon.
Indeed, we have been working on this request for some time already. I have discussed this again with the relevant department and we have agreed to heighten the priority in order to resolve this faster. As soon as I know more in terms of timeline, I will be happy to let you know.
