Handled the Crash:App crashing - RuntimeException: getParameters fail…

[rdfordatascience-ops]

@Redth Created a PR which just adds a try catch block to avoid one weird Camera getparameter crash when we open the scanner in prism navigation. This try catch will just eat the exception and allows the system to continue scanning

5 years this issue persists, and it's not acceptable for our applications to CRASHE violently in production :-(
As nobody move... so I will.

Related Issues : #728 #924 #1011 (and maybe more ? I stopped my search here...)

A pull request #1002 has been kindly submitted by @rdfordatascience-ops (thanks ;-)) but has never been merged, accepted or included in a new version...
It's not a "clean" solution, but it's better than CRASHES.

So :

• I forked this repo (https://github.com/Respawnsive/ZXing.Net.Mobile)
• I've applied the PR 1002 :
  • Just a "try-catch" block for not CRASHING our apps
  • Apparently, it continues to works normaly even after an exception raised here... (@rdfordatascience-ops you can confirm ?)
• I've deleted some target platforms (I don't have time to install all the SDKs required for platforms that nobody use ;-)) :
  • Tizen
  • MacOS
  • Windows UAP
  • (so I only keep .netStandard/Android/iOS
• I build successfully, generate NuGetPackages and publish them :

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Respawnsive.ZXing.Net.Mobile/
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Respawnsive.ZXing.Net.Mobile.Forms/

-> 1 hour, that's all what it takes to me...

So I hope this will be usefull for some peoples... because the "real production world" is not focused on MAUI (not yet at least ;-))

@Jerome-Liger this is awesome! Thanks.
Wish @Redth would simply approve the pull requests as beta or enable someone else to contribute...
