Additional Context
We have migrated our ionic application to capacitor. Before migration, cordova plugin camera shows gallery option on both iPhone and iPad. Once it is migrated to capacitor, it shows gallery option only on iPhone. But it is not showing gallery popover on iPad. There is no difference in code level. On both devices, it hits the same method. But on iPad, it doesn't show the gallery popover.

Actual Requirement:
We need to select video alone from gallery. For that, we have choose this plugin. It works fine on iPhone devices after migration. But not showing gallery popover on iPad devices.
