Android video camera with TRRS external microphone recording

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)?
