React-native-webview: Record Audio permissions for android not working as expected

[niranjan-b-prajapati]

Bug description:
I have a weblink which i need to integrate for recording audio, even after allowing recording permissions in android it gives error. The same link works properly on mobile chrome.
Wondering what is happening differently in webview that it is not allowing to record audio. It gives Error getting audio as the error message.

Following is the url for testing audio recorder :
https://webaudiodemos.appspot.com/AudioRecorder/index.html

Following are the permissions used in android :

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />

Expected behavior:
If the Url works properly on mobile chrome browser it should work in webview also.

Can anyone please help me get through this issue. its really critical for me to find solution to this.

Environment:

• OS: Android
• OS version: 7.1.1
• react-native version: 0.59.5
• react-native-webview version: 5.8.2
