Mobile Camera Media

Purpose

Plan camera/media: request permissions, capture or pick photos/video, and process (resize/compress) media before use/upload.

When to Use

• When the app captures or picks photos/video/audio.
• Not on Expo Go for capabilities needing a dev build.

Inputs

• Media requirements (capture/pick, photo/video, quality).
• Runtime + build model; upload target (mobile-file-upload).

Discovery Questions

• Capture, pick from library, or both? Photo/video/audio?
• What quality/resolution is needed vs bandwidth/storage?
• How are permissions requested and handled if denied?

Responsibilities

• Handle camera/library permissions and denial states.
• Plan capture/pick flows.
• Resize/compress media before upload to save bandwidth/memory (mobile-performance).
• Hand off to upload (mobile-file-upload).

Required Workflow

1. Confirm media needs + native support.
2. Request permissions; handle denial.
3. Plan capture/pick + processing (resize/compress).
4. Hand off to upload.
5. Record the media plan.

Decision Rules

• Capabilities requiring native support need a dev build (Expo) or CLI, not Expo Go.
• Resize/compress before upload — don't send full-resolution originals needlessly.
• Request permission contextually; handle denial gracefully.

Rules

• Respect permission models; handle denial.
• Process media to protect memory/bandwidth.
• Coordinate upload with mobile-file-upload.

Anti-Patterns

• Assuming Expo Go covers all capture.
• Uploading full-resolution originals.
• No handling for denied permissions.
• Leaking large media into memory (mobile-performance).

Validation Checklist

• [ ] Native support confirmed.
• [ ] Permissions + denial handled.
• [ ] Capture/pick flows planned.
• [ ] Resize/compress before upload.
• [ ] Handoff to upload defined.

Definition of Done

A recorded media plan: permission handling, capture/pick flows, resize/compress processing, and a clean handoff to upload — with native support confirmed.

Context Loading Guidance

• Requires: media requirements, runtime/build model, upload target.
• Does not require: unrelated screens, the full mobile skill set, unrelated references.
• May load: mobile-file-upload, mobile-performance.
• Stop when: the media plan is recorded.

Token Efficiency Guidance

Plan capture + processing; delegate transfer to file-upload.
