StopCameraAsync does not remove green dot and turn off the light front of the camera on IOS

[hercul1017]

Hi,

After moving to another pages the green dot indicating the camera still on does not disappear even after calling StopCameraAsync. I tried following code but it did not work. StopCameraAsync returns Success, but green dot continues to display. Newer models of IPhones light next the front camera that I use, also continues to light and it does not turn off.

    MainThread.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(async () =>
    {
        cameraView.FlashMode = FlashMode.Disabled;
        cameraView.TorchEnabled = false;

        if (await cameraView.StopCameraAsync() == CameraResult.Success)
        {                 
        }            
    });

Thanks for any help,

I guess this comes from the fact, that MAUI does not call DisconnectHandler automatically when a page (and all its UI elements) is no longer used. I created this helper class which automatically disconnects handlers once the page is navigated away: HandlerCleanUpHelper.cs

Someone who maintains Camera.MAUI would have to take something like that into consideration. MAUI will probably not solve the problem for us...
