Description

WARNING: AVCaptureDeviceTypeExternal is deprecated for Continuity Cameras. Please use AVCaptureDeviceTypeContinuityCamera and add NSCameraUseContinuityCameraDeviceType to your Info.plist.

Once i updated my mac os version, continuty camera stopped working. I have tried looking for an info.plist in my cv2 folder but no luck. If the VideoCapture function is being handed off to another framework for cross platform use, that could be where the info.plist is to change this attribute to what Apple now recommends using as the current one opencv is using is deprecated.

This should be a simple fix depending on if the video capture is not a dependency but hopefully it can be fixed soon as many others have observed this issue as well.
