I turned this pr to draft, as we are not going to use the final implementation for Android. We will be waiting for v5 of the library, and go from there. I am keeping this pr for anyone looking to implement it for themselves. Our video files can be large, so we decided not to use them on the Android side, but maybe someone might find it useful.

If you find any issues with the code, feel free to tag me on this thread.

For anyone who wants to use this lib, I've published the changes to npm https://www.npmjs.com/package/steplab-react-native-vision-camera
