isMultitaskingCameraAccessSupported returning false on most devices

Hi,

Our team is wondering why the camera multitasking API are only supported on iPad with an extended display. Here is the quote from the documentation.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avcapturesession/4013228-ismultitaskingcameraaccesssuppor

This value returns true on iPads that support Stage Manager with an extended display.

Is there intention from Apple team to support this API on more devices in the future.

We would like to allow our users to be able to continue using their camera in a video call while our application is in background with Picture in Picture enabled; without having to use the com.apple.developer.avfoundation.multitasking-camera-access entitelment on iOS.

Thank you in advance for the replies
