AppState doesn't fire at the same time as recordAsync()

[nachumFreedman]

Bug Report

The appstate doesnt fire and when we put the app in the background then come back, the entire app is frozen to the last "frame" including react-native-video component.

This happens on Android Google Pixel 2XL ONLY!!!
We tested on other non-stok android devices.

This is only in components that also contain recordAsync, didnt test other camera functionalities

how to solve ?

I reported the same issue some time ago (#2235). No fixes yet, how did you solve it?

[nachumFreedman]

I'm not a java dev but my co worker did something to the library where we shutdown the camera instead of pausing it.... I'll follow up with more details after the weekend

@nachumFreedman have you tried this issue with the latest version? I haven't had issues with it anymore. There's also a PR that adds even more improvements with background threads and better locks for race conditions that should further prevent this issue and speed up the camera in general (#2560)
