It is still there, violating GPL3. It might be better to reclaim at Google Play Store.
This was reported before: https://sourceforge.net/p/opencamera/tickets/613/ Some software does not work with wrong orientation (e.g. img2pdf).

Any news?
The phone companies usually want to monopoly, and in particular, their camera apps are selling points and they are reluctant to expose the correct number of extra cameras to 3rd party apps.
It looks like that FreeDCam does not take the claimed number of cameras, i.e. the value from props, but enumerate all IDs from 0 to 199 and probe which ones work: https://github.com/KillerInk/FreeDcam/blob/3d3225bcc973d06c09c74d0f349b67ed3ee4c6fc/app/src/main/java/freed/cam/apis/featuredetector/Camera2FeatureDetectorTask.java#L281 https://github.com/KillerInk/FreeDcam/issues/118#issuecomment-674483153

Interesting. Same on my Xiaomi device. I don't know how FreeDCam avoids the restriction of props like https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-enable-aux-camera-for-third-party-camera-apps.3846325/
