Camera initialization fails when re-running the app without stopping it #176451
Description
Steps to reproduce
Run the official example. Then re-run the app without stopping it.
See #176288 (comment)
I guess has something to do with the migration from camera_android to camera_android_camerax, since with camera: 0.10.6 the problem doesn't happen.
Expected results
App shouldn't crash
Actual results
App crash
