It's really helpful to have a control to close the resources like CAMERA or PHOTOLIBRARY.
UseCases:
If resources are being used for more than limited time, we can close them automatically.
Push Notifications, While Capturing if there's a notification, then we need to close the camera automatically from code rather than manually clicking on close button.
Feature Description
It's just a new method which is supposed to close the CAMERA or PHOTOLIBRARY from code.
By calling this method, it closes the resources and resumes the app to it's initial state.
Alternatives or Workarounds
For me, It's a blocking issue as it's supposed to close the CAMERA automatically but that's not the behavior with the plugin as there's no method available to close it.
So the implemenation of the stop() for both Android and iOS is needed.
I can contribute by implementing the stop() which closes the resources from javascript. By calling navigator.camera.stop() which works for both android and iOS.
