Describe the bug

When a user denies camera permission on iOS Safari and then tries to scan a DevCard QR code, the scanner shows a blank screen with no error message or prompt to re-enable permissions.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open DevCard on iOS Safari
  2. Deny camera permission when prompted
  3. Try to use QR scanner
  4. Screen goes blank — no feedback shown

Expected Behavior

App should show a clear error message with a link to iOS Settings to re-enable camera access.

Suggested Fix

Catch the NotAllowedError from getUserMedia() and display a user-friendly dialog with instructions to re-enable camera permission in Settings.
