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)?

Open Camera also allows you to choose to use an external mic. I actually had better luck with it than Cinema FV-5 as the latter still uses the old deprecated Android Camera API and shows my Nexus 5x camera upside down. This is quite ridiculous for a premium app. So far Open Camera has been great, as it's free, open source, and has no ads.
