I would not think the restriction apply to native but I might be fully wrong 🙂

Adding @bghgary who knows way more than me about this.

No, it is not an issue in Babylon React Native, though the app will prompt for permissions to access the camera.

I am sorry, i misread your message. I am having trouble auto initializing the session, when should i call the function to start the session?

Can you give a bit more context? What kind of trouble? Can you show some code?

I have to confirm that it works in [Sample](https://github.com/BabylonJS/BabylonReactNativeSample). Since i am using Clojure to build the app problem seems to be in Clojure somewhere. I will figure it out. Thank you for you time. 🙂
