[camera-plus] Uncaught Could not create UIImage

When cloning this repo, building, and then installing the built nativescript-camera-plus plugin, i find that my app crashes when it navigates to the page where i am using the plugin.

I am using Nativescript (NS7)+ Vue and get the following error:

CONSOLE LOG: NativeScript-CameraPlus --- [CameraPlus createNativeView]

I have tried the suggestion in #12 to comment out this._swifty.previewLayer.frame = CGRectMake(frame.origin.x, frame.origin.y, size.width, size.height); and this._swifty.previewLayer.setNeedsLayout(); lines, but that does not seem to change anything.

Reproduce the crash by building and installing the plugin, then navigating to the page that uses the camera. Start at app/packages/nativescript-camera-plus/index.ios.ts around the onLoaded call at line 794, and compare the preview-layer lines mentioned in #12. Done means the page loads without the “Could not create UIImage” exception.
