Snapchat Compose Clone👻

**Facing with the camaraX for API 30 and above, looking into this issue**

Background🌟

Work in progress

This is UI Clone of Snapchat, which is used to show the power of Jetpack Compose. This a personal project with the goal to learn Clean Architecture with Jetpack compose. I have tried to add all the native components like Camera, Mapview and Exoplayer and showcase as an example.
Jetpack Compose is Android’s modern toolkit for building native UI. It simplifies and accelerates UI development on Android. Quickly bring your app to life with less code, powerful tools, and intuitive Kotlin APIs.

Video Player with Media 3📽

• androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer:1.0.0-rc01, androidx.media3:media3-ui:1.0.0-rc01
  We have several existing media APIs: Jetpack Media also known as MediaCompat, Jetpack Media2, and ExoPlayer. These libraries were developed with different goals, and have several areas of overlapping functionality.

It can be challenging to decide which library to use for a given use case, and objects from different libraries are often not compatible, requiring adapters or connecting code. Media3 removes these challenges by providing a single set of libraries which work well together.

Clean architecture

I am still learning and understanding clean architecture so it might be perfectly correct
In Clean Architecture, instead of relying on Models, you'll communicate with Interactors from the Use Case layer. This layer contains the user interface related code, powered by Android Jetpack! The outer circle represents the concrete mechanisms that are specific to the platform such as networking and database access. Moving inward, each circle is more abstract and higher-level. The center circle is the most abstract and contains business logic, which doesn’t rely on the platform or the framework you’re using.
