This is a crash we are currently seeing in production. I will provide all of the info I can from our firebase crash analytics.

CAMERAX VERSION: 1.1.0-beta01 (however we just updated to 1.1.0-beta03, will follow up if crash resolves)

CAMERA APPLICATION NAME AND VERSION: Hinge 8.32.0

ANDROID OS BUILD NUMBER: We are seeing this crash occur on android 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11

DEVICE NAME: This crash is happening on Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, and asus phones

DESCRIPTION: This is happening when takePicture() is called on the image capture. Upon investigating the ImageCapture code I believe getCamera() is returning null when we attempt to get the relative rotation on line 978. I'm unsure why that value would be null as it is only nulled out upon binding/releasing use cases. I rebind use cases when I flip the camera. I experimented on taking images while aggressively flipping the camera and was unable to produce a crash.

LIST ANY EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES: We are injecting the ImageCapture and ListenableFuture<ProcessCameraProvider> into the class as opposed to creating them and storing them.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE: I have been unable to reproduce this bug

REPRODUCIBILITY: This crash has occurred 40 times as of the moment I'm filing this bug report.
