What plugins do I need to install on my jailbroken iPhone? #4

I'm interested in building this project on my iPhone. As mentioned, a jailbroken device is required. Could you please provide a list of the necessary plugins that need to be installed after jailbreaking to ensure the project functions correctly?

Now I have this app installed on an iPhone SE with iOS 14, but when I plug in the USB camera it says "no device exist". I don't know if I'm missing some plugins installed or if my camera is unsupported.

You need an official "Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter" with additional power supply, without it iPhone simply can't provide enough current to power an external camera. Other than that - nothing special, just a jailbroken device so you can sign and run binaries with com.apple.* entitlements.
