[Camera] UnsupportedOperationException: ProxyApiRegistrar.getDisplay crash on Android 14 with camera 0.11.2 #176613
Description
Steps to reproduce
Camera plugin (version 0.11.2) crashes with UnsupportedOperationException when initializing front camera with low resolution preset on Android 14. The crash occurs in ProxyApiRegistrar.getDisplay() and DeviceOrientationManager.getDisplay() during orientation handling, detected through Firebase Crashlytics.
Specific device info: Sony Xperia V, Android 14
Expected results
Front camera should initialize successfully with low resolution preset and handle orientation changes without crashing.
Actual results
App crashes with UnsupportedOperationException: Tried to obtain display from a Context not associated with one. Only visual Contexts (such as Activity or one created with Context#createWindowContext) or ones created with Context#createDisplayContext are associated with displays.

Fatal Exception: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
Tried to obtain display from a Context not associated with one. Only visual Contexts (such as Activity or one created with Context#createWindowContext) or ones created with Context#createDisplayContext are associated with displays. Other types of Contexts are typically related to background entities and may return an arbitrary display.
