Native Platform Views for mobile and beyond
summary
Builds a federated plugin that embeds existing native camera UIs and exposes a takePicture MethodChannel; iOS uses embedded SwiftUI via UIHostingController and delivers ultra‑smooth previews (author sees 120 FPS native camera preview), Android uses camera2 or a battle‑tested library wrapped as a Platform View and must choose hybrid composition vs virtual display (hybrid gives accessibility, virtual is invisible to Android). Works on iOS, Android and macOS for single previews; multi‑preview scrolling is still janky and desktop lacks full gesture/resizing support.
