Pull request overview
This PR improves iOS CameraView behavior by centralizing orientation configuration for photo/video capture and refining video recording resource management to prevent post-recording crashes.
Changes:
- Centralizes photo/video orientation configuration via a new
ConfigureAVCaptureConnection()helper (iOS 17+ rotation coordinator; iOS ≤16 accelerometer fallback). - Simplifies iOS video recording by reusing the existing camera input and only adding/removing recording-specific resources (
audioInput,videoOutput). - Adds lifecycle cleanup for rotation coordinator and motion manager resources in
Dispose().

Thanks @zhitaop! Could you take a second to review CoPilot's recommendations and implement the fix if you deem it appropriate? |

audioInput,videoOutput) are added and removed.Simplifies video recording session management by removing the separate video input and reusing the existing capture input
Improves iOS camera orientation handling for both photo capture and video recording. Centralized orientation handling logic in
