How to play sound during screenshot, even when device muted
Due to legal reasons here in Japan, our app (iOS/Android) must play a sound when the camera is activated, even when the device is in silent/manner mode.
The issue: We are using Application.CaptureScreenshot for the actual screen capture, and this would capture an object overlaid with the camera feed. As technically the camera is not being used, the shutter sound fails to fire.

Can you also use the official "camera snap" API, just for the sound, and ignore/erase the result?
