What is the general goal of the feature?
The xform designer can select a specific app to be used to take a picture.

What are some example use cases for this feature?
In my case, the xform designer needs to notify the field data collector when a picture is blurry, especially for pictures of a document. We have a specific camera app which detects too much blurriness or too dark pictures.

What can you contribute to making this feature a reality?
We can provide an implementation of this Widget.

On Android 10 or less, the recommended approach for this would be to set the default image application at the Android level. Android has removed this option in Android 11.

Starting with Collect v1.30, there is an external image widget. The app that it calls must follow the specification for returning image data. Arbitrary camera apps from the Play Store will most likely not work with this feature.
