Setting FlashMode Doesn't Actually Change FlashMode

[mgrosvenor-pivcon]

Steps to Reproduce

Create the camera using builder.awesome and set the flash mode to something other than the default (none).

CameraAwesomeBuilder.awesome(
  exifPreferences: ExifPreferences(saveGPSLocation: true),
  aspectRatio: CameraAspectRatios.ratio_16_9,
  flashMode: FlashMode.always,
  saveConfig: SaveConfig.photo(
    pathBuilder: () async {
       return filePath;
    },
  ),
  onMediaTap: (mediaCapture) {},
)

Expected results

Flash should be set to Always

Actual results

The flash icon is changed to match the setting, but the actual flash setting is still the default (none). Tapping the icon to cycle through the settings works and changes the flash setting as expected.

PlatformException(FLASH_UNSUPPORTED, can't set flash for portrait mode, , null)

Any update or any idea how to fix this?

I also get this exception when I am having front camera and the ability to switch flash mode.

Every time I switch flash with the front camera I have the above exception. Back camera with setting flashMode work perfectly fine. I know my phones do support the flash mode for front camera (tried and work with ios native camera and also tried it with flutter camera package)
