• 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)
