ios26 camera problem on home screen apps

since the release of iOS26 i get new reports of people making home screen apps of website pages that had camera accessibility to take pictures that mention the camera being 90degree sideways to what it should be.

i have tested it myself and was able to reproduce the issue quite easily on iPhones 13|15|16 regular and pro versions.

this affects all cameras when trying using them with navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({...})...
