With the introduction of IOS 17 the camera apis for ios have changed quite a bit. One of the introductions is external webcam support for iPadOS. It would be great if the camera plugin could support this out of the box.

It looks like this would require passing AVCaptureDeviceTypeExternal to the discovery session. It's unclear if that will impact any of the rest of the plugin code, or it's just that.

I did some initial testing and found that passing AVCaptureDeviceTypeExternal does infact allow the camera to be detected and see a preview using CameraPreview, however, take picture does not work. I have not tested with taking video or any of the other features.

The WWDC session on this could be helpful in implementing this https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10106/

Unfortunatly running flutter apps on IOS 17 is broken and only allows running from xcode and attaching flutter so its cumbersome to develop and test on. Fixing that and then adding this would be really great.
