Update ffi to 2.0.1+
Upgrade support for granular media permissions in Android 13
Fix plugin lifecycle onDetachedFromActivity in Android
Fix viewController is not recognized in iOS
Fix parse args not filtering commands properly
Replace JCenter with MavenCentral in Android build.gradle repositories (since JCenter becomes unreachable sometimes due to it's end of life)
