### Did you read the "Reporting a bug" section on Contributing file?

- [x] I have read the "Reporting a bug" section on Contributing file: https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Maui/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#reporting-a-bug

### Current Behavior

When plugging in external cameras via USB in Android device, `cameraProvider.AvailableCameras` did not include any external cameras. Not sure if this is by design or a bug.

External cameras used:
- Intel Realsense D455 camera (correctly recognized in the Realsense Camera app)
- Standard Logitech webcam

Android device used:
- Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

### Expected Behavior

`cameraProvider.AvailableCameras` on Android should return external cameras like on Windows.

### Steps To Reproduce

1. Make a new project
2. Plug in an external camera
3. Use CameraView and call `cameraProvider.AvailableCameras`

### Link to public reproduction project repository
