Arcore-unity-sdk: No turn on camera flash apis

[arghyasur1991]

I need to turn on flash from ARCore app but there are no ways to do so. Even if I turn the flash on using android apis before arcore startup, it gets disabled on arcore session initialization. Vuforia sdk provides option to turn the flash on, so ARCore should also provide one to do so.

Thanks for the feature request. We're discussing this API internally now. Can you provide a bit more information about the use case you have in mind for the flash?

[arghyasur1991]

for something like a horror game inside your room where players will want to play in low light condition using torch.

Thanks for the context. We're looking into this now and it'll be in the release notes if/when we add support for it.

I would like to +1 this feature. Its very useful since AR works poorly in the dark.

It should also be noted that you can do this with ARKit. Having similar access would be awesome!
