Adding a method to check if flash is available

Expo SDK

  1. SDK Version: 49
  2. Platforms: all

Is it possible to add .flashAvailable method to the Camera?
I think it would be very useful when using the Camera component in a screen. Many older devices and iPads specifically don’t have a flash, so having a button to toggle flash would be useless, and disabling the button for all iPads wouldn’t work because newer ones do have a flash.

Maybe give react-native-vision-camera a try:

Thank You! Minimum iOS 12 and Android-SDK version 26 might be a deal breaker for my specific project, but we’ll see I guess. Thanks anyways!
