Hi,
This issue is because in the current version we supposed that camera with id "0" is the default camera. Till few months that seems to work on 100% of the mobile devices. Unfortunatly it is not the case, on some device camera with id "0" des not exist. The only time I saw this was on an emulator, are you running on an emulator? What devices? Have you try another device?
As a matter of fact, the current version of this library is not in a good state as said in the README.md:
:warning: **The React Native Live Stream SDK is designed for 0.69.1 version of React Native. Using the SDK with >0.69.1 of React Native can cause unexpected behaviour**
And as it is not up to date, I can't even build it on my computer.
The good news is that we are working on a new version where your issue has already fixed. See https://github.com/apivideo/api.video-reactnative-live-stream/pull/67. Development is done, we are fixing few bugs. If your application ETA is not 2 days, you could use this branch directly. Remove the current package and run:
yarn add https://github.com/apivideo/api.video-reactnative-live-stream.git#feature/new_arch_support
Before you ask, we don't have a release date yet.
