Description

Suggestion

Right now, we use react-native-camera in the CameraDemo sample to verify that autolinking of a community module works, however it looks like that module might not be worked on in the future.

Specifically, it looks like react-native-camera is is being deprecated for react-native-vision-camera: https://github.com/react-native-camera/react-native-camera/issues/2942

Since the new react-native-vision-camera doesn't have (and might not get) RNW support, we may want an entirely new sample to test this scenario.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the CameraDemo sample and its current use of react-native-camera, then check the linked deprecation discussion and the React Native Windows support status of react-native-vision-camera. Define a replacement community-module sample that preserves the autolinking verification scenario; done means the sample is added and that scenario can be verified on Windows.
