Description

  toggleFlashlight(isFlashlightOn: boolean): void {
    if (this.camera) {
      if (!isFlashlightOn && this.camera.getFlashMode() === 'on') {
        this.camera.toggleFlash();
      }
      if (isFlashlightOn && this.camera.getFlashMode() === 'off') {
        this.camera.toggleFlash();
      }
    }
  }

It doesn't work on Android. I haven't tried it on iOS. The default switch does not turn on the flash either.

Research direction

Start by locating the toggleFlashlight entry point and the Android camera implementation that provides getFlashMode() and toggleFlash(). Reproduce the default-switch failure on Android, then verify that turning the switch on and off changes the flashlight state as intended; iOS behavior is not established by the issue.
