This is about privacy, and I want to be careful. I don't think it makes app development more complicated. For the UX part, that would in that case happen only once: the app asks for a device with certain mandatory constraints the *first* time the user visits the site. The mandatory constraints can't be met, but the user is anyway informed. The next time the user returns, the app can first check if any new devices are available. If not, don't do gUM, and the user is not annoyed. > > An application that wants something, can ask for something. Asking > means asking the user. Period.
