Description

Describe the feature request This plugin, created by @andz-bb would be useful if implemented natively, as many apps require the user take a photograph and upload it, it would save the user headache from having to take a photo using a different app and reopen the budibase app

Plugin: https://github.com/andz-bb/budibase-component-camera

Research direction
Research the existing Budibase component creation documentation and the referenced plugin (https://github.com/andz bb/budibase component camera) to understand the required API. Check if there are any existing mobile components in the codebase. Discuss with maintainers about the preferred approach for implementing a native camera component, whether via a plugin or core component.
