Applications made up of HTML5 are failed to provide device-specific features such as camera, NFC are not assessable in some browsers. To design application, delivering an optimized experience identical to native app becomes a challenge for designer.

For some specific features — like Bluetooth LE, AR, biometrics, or native notifications — you either have to use third-party packages or write a custom implementation.
