Most android audio recording apps automatically recognize audio input when external microphone jack that is plugged in is TRRS compatible (usually one of 2 standards: CTIA and OMTP) .

CTIA vs OMTP

Search as i may, i have not come across a camera app which records video with the external microphone. Therefore, as a last resource, I am considering eventually developing one.

Before i embark on a project which just might be a reinvention of the proverbial wheel or worse, a lead balloon:

Is there any impediment for such an app to work?

Corollary: Is there any camera app which recognizes external mic's (automatically or via setup)?
