Torch not working

[georgggg]

I am using the QrReader component successfully, but the torch (environment camera light) is not turning on when configured using the "constraints" prop of the component (tested Android and iOS devices). I am defining such property as follows:

constraints={{'torch' : true, facingMode: 'environment'}}

According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaTrackConstraints the torch property should be a boolean value. Is this MediaTrack Constraint actually being taken care of in this component?

constraints={{ facingMode: "environment", advanced: [{ torch: true }] }}

I've been doing research on this for about a week. I don't believe its possible with IOS from what I've read due to apple.

@Webbwhite98
According to my knowledge of MediaTrackConstraints torch property is not available in video tracks.
I feel that's the reason we can't pass the torch as props in the QR reader component.
