Migrates camera implementation as part of flutter/flutter#119109

This PR migrates the last chunk of FLTCam class to Swift:

  • updateOrientation
  • setCaptureSessionPreset
  • Removes FLTCam class

If you need help, consider asking for advice on the #hackers-new channel on Discord.

Note: The Flutter team is currently trialing the use of Gemini Code Assist for GitHub. Comments from the gemini-code-assist bot should not be taken as authoritative feedback from the Flutter team. If you find its comments useful you can update your code accordingly, but if you are unsure or disagree with the feedback, please feel free to wait for a Flutter team member's review for guidance on which automated comments should be addressed.

It looks like this pull request may not have tests. Please make sure to add tests or get an explicit test exemption before merging.

If you are not sure if you need tests, consider this rule of thumb: the purpose of a test is to make sure someone doesn't accidentally revert the fix. Ask yourself, is there anything in your PR that you feel it is important we not accidentally revert back to how it was before your fix?

Reviewers: Read the Tree Hygiene page and make sure this patch meets those guidelines before LGTMing. If you believe this PR qualifies for a test exemption, contact "@test-exemption-reviewer" in the #hackers channel in Discord (don't just cc them here, they won't see it!). The test exemption team is a small volunteer group, so all reviewers should feel empowered to ask for tests, without delegating that responsibility entirely to the test exemption group.

Code Review

This pull request successfully migrates the updateOrientation and setCaptureSessionPreset methods from Objective-C to Swift, and subsequently removes the now-obsolete FLTCam class. This is a great step forward in the Swift migration. The implementation looks solid, and I have a couple of minor suggestions to enhance code safety and adopt more idiomatic Swift patterns.

While (try? ... ) != nil works for checking if a throwing function succeeded, using a do-try-catch block is more idiomatic in Swift. It makes the intent of handling a potential error clearer. If the lock fails, the catch block can be left empty to preserve the current fallthrough logic.

        do {
          try captureDevice.lockForConfiguration()
          // Set the best device format found and finish the device configuration.
          captureDevice.activeFormat = bestFormat
          captureDevice.unlockForConfiguration()
          break
        } catch {
          // Fallthrough if lock fails.
        }

Using force unwrapping with ! can lead to a crash if previewSize is nil. Although it's likely initialized by this point, it's safer to use optional chaining and the nil-coalescing operator (??) to provide a default value. This improves the robustness of the code by preventing a potential crash.

why was it non-optional previously?

We typically try to avoid !, unless we are sure it won't be nil, in which case you should add a comment explaining why.
