When I run the app is the VS 2022 on Windows 10 the MediaPicker.Default.CapturePhotoAsync method displays the camera and allows me to capture a photo.
When the app is published and installed on Windows 10 the MediaPicker.Default.CapturePhotoAsync method doesn't display the camera and sends me a bogus image filename.
I have a looked for a permission setting but it doesn't seem to be a requirement for Windows apps.
The MediaPicker.Default.CapturePhotoAsync method also works great in iOS and Android.
How can I get the MediaPicker.Default.CapturePhotoAsync method to work on a published Windows app

Any idea of how to make this work as when NOT running as administrator?
Thanks,

2024-05-07T06:20:59.83+00:00 You published the app according to the following doc- Publish a .NET MAUI app to a folder for Windows - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn, and installed the MSIX, right? I tried to publish an app with media picker feature, but I cannot reproduce your issue.

2024-05-15T17:32:52.2333333+00:00 While the camera works fine when running as administrator I do not want to have to instruct all of the apps users to have do that as well.
So how can I get it work without running as administrator?
Thank you

2024-05-16T09:28:02.2833333+00:00 Do you publish the app as a MSIX and deploy it?

But in my work laptop that is in a domain the only way that the camera is works is by running the app as Administrator. Please help with this.
