v14.0.0

Breaking changes

• Removed the CameraScreen component. Copy-paste the example/src/CameraExample.tsx file to get a good replacement starting point.
  Why? We kept getting feature requests, and it's not possible for us to design and create a generic, good-looking UI that fits all use cases. The ultimate feature set for the CameraScreen component was effectively just the Camera component, thus it made sense to remove it.
• Objective-C -> Swift migration. May break things unintentionally
• showFrame is now positioned differently than before on Android (centered)
• setTorchMode was removed as it was un-React like. Please use the declarative torchMode="on" instead
• Pinch to zoom behavior changed slightly. While not technically breaking, it changes the camera zoom behavior. Override the behavior using the new zoom and onZoom if you want to customize how fast it zooms
• Removed camera permission request on iOS and Android. This was removed due to the complexity of managing permissions on both platforms and it caused issues for some users. Using a separate permission library like zoontek's react-native-permissions is more flexible and you get to control when to prompt, show advanced dialogs, see what the status of the permission is, and re-prompt appropriately.
• Temporary path moved to "Caches" directory. This helps users of Expo's expo-file-system library which only allows managing files in either Documents/ or Library/Caches directories.
