No ICE candidates generated when I run my local webRTC application on google chrome browser

Question

I have a basic webRTC application that supports video/audio communication and file sharing between two peers, The app runs as intended when I open it on Mozilla Firefox but when I run it on Google Chrome the onicecandidate returns null

My RTCPeerConnection

        myConnection = new RTCPeerConnection();

Setting up the peer connection

myConnection.createOffer().then(offer => {
    currentoffer = offer
    myConnection.setLocalDescription(offer);
})
    .then(function () {
        myConnection.onicecandidate = function (event) {
            console.log(event.candidate);

            if (event.candidate) {
                send({
                    type: "candidate",
                    candidate: event.candidate
                });
            }
        };
        send({
            type: "offer",
            offer: currentoffer
        });
    })
    .catch(function (reason) {
        alert("Problem with creating offer. " + reason);
    });

On Mozilla Firefox you can see in the console log all the ICE candidates that are collected on each "onicecandidate" event

On Chrome the output is null

You should pass options object when calling createOffer() method, e.g.:

myConnection = new RTCPeerConnection();

var mediaConstraints = {
    'offerToReceiveAudio': true,
    'offerToReceiveVideo': true    
};

myConnection.createOffer(mediaConstraints).then(offer => {
        currentoffer = offer
        myConnection.setLocalDescription(offer);
    })
    ...// the rest of you code goes here    

Alternatively, you can specify RTCRtpTransceiver before creating an offer:

myConnection = new RTCPeerConnection();

myConnection.addTransceiver("audio");
myConnection.addTransceiver("video");

myConnection.createOffer().then(offer => {
        currentoffer = offer
        myConnection.setLocalDescription(offer);
    })
    ...// the rest of you code goes here
