i have been developing powerapps for my company i want to add attachments with only the take picture option , not with the choose from gallery or from files in mobile devices. how can i able to restrict the attachment control only to use the camera in the device (i dont want to use the camera control in the powerapps cause the photo it takes are 640 pixels) . i want to have higher quality picture,so i want to use the device camera
Hi @tmpandc ,
You can restrict it to jpg files, but there is no way of determining where they came (other than off the device somewhere) - the Add Picture option is from your Device, not Power Apps - OnAddFile
If( !EndsWith( Last(Self.Attachments).Name, "jpg" ), Notify( "You can only attach PDF files", NotificationType.Error ); Reset(Self) )

thanks for the reply but is there any workaround using flows or something like that
@tmpandc ,As I mentioned, the option for the Camera is on the Device OS - it is nothing to do with Power Apps (nor is it visible to a Flow)
