Fix on resume flicker (Android)

[buhleryesco]

What

• Changed onHandleResume in Android to initially set to black if config is set toBack : true. This avoided flickering/racing condition as the camera resumed.

Why

How

-Set to black like the on start method did.

Testing

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds black background color settings to the Android camera preview activity during resume to prevent visual flicker when the camera view is positioned behind the WebView, and reorganizes npm dependencies by moving development-only packages from dependencies to devDependencies.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Android Camera Preview Flicker Fix android/src/main/java/app/capgo/capacitor/camera/preview/CameraPreview.java	Adds window and WebView background color initialization (black) during activity resume when a previous camera session exists and is configured to render behind the WebView (toBack), executed before camera session recreation.
Dependency Reorganization package.json	Moves typescript and prettier-pretty-check from dependencies to devDependencies; adds @rollup/rollup-darwin-x64 as a platform-specific dev dependency. Reflects development-only tooling separation.
