✨ Question: Support of External Cameras

[alexander-schranz]

Prerequisites

• I have searched existing issues for a similar request.

What problem are you trying to solve?

If I read correctly external cameras should be supported. But I tried the reference app (ShadowLens) there in my case only the Front and Back Camera is shown not the External one. Means that my external camera is not supported.

PS: Its iPad, I tested another app CamX there the Camera works, so in general the Camera is correctly detected by the iPad.

If ShadowLens has not yet support for External cameras it would be nice to have it as a reference to quickly test external Cams with compatibility of this Lib :).

Proposed API / solution

No proposal.

Alternatives considered

No response

Platforms this should target

iOS

Would you be willing to contribute this?

No, I'm requesting only.

Additional context

Just a question about ShadowLens app not lib itself.

ShadowLens hasn't been updated to V5 yet, I planned to do it last week but went on vacation.

External Cameras should work as we 1:1 expose it via AVFoundation. What external Camera are you using?

[alexander-schranz]

No problem. The camera I personally use is a Intel RealSense, but app will need support different cameras. I'm happy to test the ShadowLens app with the external camera if you ping me, if you need any feedback.
